Audience Member i loved the animation - the little girl was real cute. the story was cute too; there's undertones of giving to those in need on Christmas even though you might not have anything to give... so pretty typical Christmas spirit message. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member More of the same from McCourt, and it leaves you feeling the same as the first short did. Now we know Angela, her character seems louder and bolder, which is great Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member As a resident of Ireland, I connected to the premise of the story. We watched it all as a family on our Christmas vacation and everyone was enjoying watching and was moved by the simple yet heartwarming story of a family missing their dad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member While generally inferior to its predecessor, had nothing to lose from just being a normal 24-minute special rather than the 40 minutes and likely owes its existence to the fact that the first special was a surprise hit, Angela's Christmas Wish does have really good voice acting, decent funny moments, well-placed poignant moments and a heartwarming ending. While I doubt anybody was begging for a sequel to a mostly decent special, I also doubt that the whole family won't find something to enjoy in this cute little Christmas cartoon.
