So, I just got to thinking after seeing the Nostalgia Critic's review of Christmas with the Kranks.
Anyways, what are the worst and best holiday specials in theaters or on television that you have seen?
Spoiler ShowI like Tim Allen and all, but the film seemed pretty awful. I mean, the film was basically about a husband and a wife wanting to save money by not celebrating Christmas and instead going on a cruise. That would be fine, but everyone in their neighborhood has other ideas. They want the husband and the wife to put up a snowman and basically celebrate the holidays, because it goes against tradition or it's just not routine.
Spoiler ShowI do like other holiday specials like Annabelle's Wish, which is about a cow that wishes it could fly. It sounds silly, but there were some parts I liked about it. First, Annabelle seemed like a pretty likable character, especially when she willingly gives up her voice, so a boy could talk again. The boy's name is Billy Baker, who is mute after losing his parents in a house fire. Second, Annabelle, Billy and a friend named Emily destroy someone's property and Billy really befriended the young calf. Billy's grandpa sells his son's mother's (his daughter's) music box to pay for the damages done by Annabelle, Emily and Billy to get the calf back. Third, Billy will be taken by his 'Cruella DeVille' doppleganger of an aunt, Agnes, because she feels that Billy's grandpa can't properly care for the boy and that she, being Billy's father's sister would be a better option. Annabelle doesn't want to see Billy go, so she asks Santa Claus to give Billy the ability to speak again. She knows that she'll never be able to speak again, even on Christmas (since it's the only time of the year where animals are granted the ability to speak by Santa Claus). Agnes doesn't get Billy, but she ends up getting married to the film's other villain; Gus Holder that had his property destroyed by Annabelle, Emily and Billy and was the reason for Annabelle being temporarily taken away. Agnes also becomes the stepmother of Billy's bullies, Gus's sons: Bucky and Buster. Finally, years pass and Billy is now a grown man married to Emily and now owns the farm that his grandpa ran.
Billy went out to pay Annabelle a visit on Christmas, but she's gone. He finds her and saves her from drowning. Santa Claus grants the cow's wish of flying by turning her into one of his flying reindeer. Annabelle along with Santa Claus and the other reindeer take off, but before they do; Annabelle gets her voice back and wishes Billy a Merry Christmas and Billy wishes her a Merry Christmas as well.
