A Wish for Wings that Work is our family's favorite Christmas movie. This movie is hilarious, and you'll be quoting it forever.

Why isn't this a more popular Christmas movie? February 11, 2008

We love this. It's funny, not too long, and keep you entertained all the way through. I don't know why this isn't more popular. I'd never even heard until a few years ago Fortunately, it was released on DVD and we now own it in DVD! It's the first Christmas special we watch every year. I was never Bloom County fan, but I am a big fan of this DVD.

This is a show that was aired only once on network television. We were lucky enough to find it on VHS, and upgraded to DVD this year. It is a must have for all fans of Opus, Bill and the entire gang!!

Is this your typical Rankin Bass holiday special? No. Is it better or worse? Nope, just different. I wore out my VHS copy of this watching this every holiday season. So happy to have it on DVD.

In tradition with Berkley Breathed's writing style, this offers a fabulous collection of old school Bloom County wit. The voice over artist who plays Opus is wonderful and parts still make laugh out loud every time I watch it.

A friend of mine worked on this back in the day. He said that there were tons of problems with several teams of people brought in to put a bow on it. That seems to have translated a bit into the final product. There are a couple of missed gags, but all in a all a very enjoyable venture.
