Little Angels: The Brightest Christmas

The little Angels guide Daniel and his dog Scout through a terrible winter storm so he can get help for his little brother. This is a film that is about faith and selflessness. A must for all kids.

The Little Angels remind all kids that they are not alone and that they have angels that guide them and guard them.

Personally didn't think that 'Little Angels: The Brightest Christmas' was that bad. It is a long way from being among Golden Films' best efforts, but it's not among their worst either.

'Little Angels: The Brightest Christmas', as far as Golden Films go, isn't as good as 'Thumbelina', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Pinocchio', 'The Three Musketeers', 'Princess Castle' and 'The Red Shoes'. Golden Films also did two other Christmas-themed animations, 'The Christmas Elves' and 'The Night Before Christmas', both of which also superior. On the other hand, it is much better than 'Tarzan of the Apes' (their worst), 'Hercules', 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', 'Anastasia' and 'Treasure Island', all of which are mediocre or less, the first three in fact are lame.

If anything, 'Little Angels: The Brightest Christmas' is a middling effort for them. While there is much better animation about, there's also much better.

Not without hindrances. The story is thin on the ground and does lack momentum in places, it's less than 45 minutes and does struggle to have enough content for that running time. The dialogue is not a strong suit, too often feeling half-cooked and with an overload of cheese and over-sentimentality.

Same with the animation, which consists of an uneven colour palette (sometimes vibrant but too often flat) and rather rough and rushed-looking drawing, the backgrounds also could have done with more detail. The characters are likable enough if underwritten.

However, personally thought the music was quite nice myself. It's a long way from being the best ever heard in animation or anywhere, but it's pleasant enough and doesn't make you want to rip out your ear-drums. "To Protect You" and "You Are Not Alone" are sweet, but not overly sweet, songs.

'Little Angels: The Brightest Christmas' does mean well and has its heart in the right place, to me it did have heart and soul and did make me tear up on occasions. The story does have some beautiful, touching and charming moments, and one of the best aspects is the messaging, it's a lovely message delivered with just the right amount of sincerity, just avoiding being too sentimental or preachy. As said, the characters are pretty likable and the voice work while not mind-blowing is admirable.

In conclusion, not a complete misfire if not a gem. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I really love this movie and that's why I I'll help really be ratings this movie the best of all the time

nice movies done by you Golden Film.

When I watch this movie I can feel a different emotions in Me for this movie I really enjoyed the movie I watched it times without number

It's worth good rates.

Wow wow wow wow these little Angels the brightest Christmas Perfect movie that's my younger sis has been wanting to watch all the times after I present these movies to them they'll be like oh my gosh I love this movie so much Daddy and I'll be also happy like I always got your back my kids so now start watching and be happy I didn't say hurray!!!!

For the most part this movie faded from the public eye. Not even a low-res copy of this film exists on YouTube, something that even Miracle in Toyland (another of the company's effort) has.

For perspective, this and Miracle both have Cam Clarke in the lead role, and with many of the glaring flaws on a visual basis, I assume both movies were being worked on simultaneously, think of this like a plan B if Miracle fell through.

Going into this, just know the Little Angels on the cover play little of a part. Oh they're part of the plot, but they're just onlookers 90% of the time. The amount of times they had to intervene is rendered meaningless when it boils down to where they actually try to do something.

The characters that do get focus are too bland to name, in fact at least two of them can be considered duplicates of the mains from Miracle, even sharing the same beliefs and motives.

Even by the low standards exhibited by the production company, this has to be the worst film I've ever seen. I'm that sure.
