This Disney story is about Abbie grainger - a young girl whose mum has lost her christmas spirit. With the magic of the angel gideon, they help her to get it back - with some heart wrenching moments along the ... ...be a little upsetting for younger children , but also has all the magic of a great christmas film - angels, hope, belief, tradgedy and of course father xmas himself!

The Knights of the Magical Light
Advantages: watchable, nice anime, adventure Disadvantages: They didn't make another series
...they were, they were called Visionaries and actually they are kinda awesome.

black cauldron
Advantages: good Disadvantages: none
