English Summary:

Annabelle's Wish is a 1997 American animated Christmas film that revolves around a young calf who aspires to learn to fly and become one of Santa Claus' reindeer. It is narrated by American country singer Randy Travis and stars veteran voice actress Kath Soucie. Hallmark Home Entertainment released the film to video on October 21, 1997, followed by a television broadcast later that year on Fox.

The film is narrated, and begins with Santa Claus delivering presents on Christmas Eve. In the fictional rural farming community of Twobridge, Tennessee, a calf is born on Christmas Eve, which the narrator says is a night made for wishes. Grandpa Charles Baker lives on a farm with his mute grandson Billy, who is friends with a girl named Emily. When Charles' truck sputters out in front of the Holder Farm, Bucky and Buster Holder rush out and mock Billy for his muteness; Emily defends Billy, Charles tries to be a mediator, and Gus Holder orders them off his property.

In the city, Billy's Aunt Agnes, a wealthy and snobbish perfectionist, prepares for her "perfect" Christmas, but realizes something is missing. Agnes decides that she wants a child, and visits her lawyer, who explains that when her brother (Billy’s father) died, she had given up all rights to guardianship of his son, Billy. Agnes demands her lawyer to find a loophole. At the farm, Charles reminisces about a stormy night when a bolt of lightning sets fire to the barn, after which a doctor stated that Billy would never talk again. It is implied that Billy's parents died in the blaze.

Hungarian Summary:

A mese alapja az a hiedelem, hogy a Mikulás egyetlen éjszakára, karácsony szent napjának éjszakájára minden állatnak emberi hangot ad. Billy, a hétéves kisfiú Tennessee állam egyik távoli tanyáján él okos, de bogaras nagyapjával. Egyszer, pusztító tűz ütött ki a farmon. Billy az átélt szörnyű emlék hatására elvesztette a hangját. De a Mikulás rá is gondol karácsony éjszakáján. Elküldi hozzá egy frissen született kisborjú képében Annabelle-t. A két kicsi elválaszthatatlan lesz ezután. Annabelle megvédi a kisfiút a helybéli rosszcsontoktól, Billy pedig mindent megtesz azért, hogy Annabelle beállhasson a Mikuláshoz, szánhúzónak. Ágnes tanti azonban ragaszkodik ahhoz, hogy Billyt szóra bírja. Ellenkező esteben berakja egy intézetbe - legalábbis ezzel fenyegetőzik. Ám eljön újból a karácsony este és vele a Mikulás, és a dolgok sok-sok bonyodalom után természetesen jóra fordulnak...
