AnnaBelle's Wish by Erin

This is a freehand drawing by Erin of Annabelle. It was drawn on Friday, June 2, 2007.

Annabelle's Wish is a magical animated feature based on the legend that on Christmas Eve Santa Claus gives all animals a speaking voice just for one night. A loveable calf named Annabelle, born on Christmas Eve, has a very special wish: to fly like on of Santa's reindeers. A special friendship forms between Annabelle and Billy, a young boy who cannot talk. Along with a friendly bunch of barnyard animals they contend with Billy's mean Aunt and the bullies in the neighborhood. Annabelle shows the true meaning of Christmas by making one very special wish come true.
