The Littlest Angel on DVD on 11-15-2011
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Some Angels soar the skies, and some fall a
little short. Anchor Bay Entertainment presents the DVD release
of the new animated feature film, The Littlest Angel, heading to
retail on Tuesday, November 15th. A colorful adaptation of the
fifteenth best-selling children’s book of all time, The Littlest
Angel takes us on a rousing adventure with a young, and
sometimes mischievous, Angel, who must return to earth and earn
his wings, a task that doesn’t prove to be easy. Experience the
love, laughter and magic of one of the most popular children’s
stories of all time. From the classic book by Charles Tazewell,
comes this lively CGI animated version filled with both humor
and heart.
The Littlest Angel tells the story of a young boy who arrives in
heaven before his time. Home-sick and lonely, he will travel
back to earth, with his friendly pup Halo, to retrieve a most
selfless and precious gift for The Baby Jesus. First released in
book form in 1946, The Littlest Angel became popular for its
ornate words and phrases paired with beautifully muted oil
paintings. Tazewell’s book was adapted into a TV musical in 1969
starring Johnny Whitaker, and theatrical versions continue to be
done by schools and church groups today. The author would
follow-up with another childhood favorite, "The Littlest
Snowman," that would be read annually on the “Captain Kangaroo”
show.
“This is a story that has made so many people happy over the
years,” says Lance Thompson, one of the producers of the film.
“We’ve added some new elements to this production, but this is
still The Littlest Angel everyone remembers from their
childhood, and one that parents will enjoy introducing to their
kids. I think Tazewell would enjoy knowing his work lives on.”
It’s a modern twist on the timeless tale of an Angel that
discovers the greatestgifts in life are faith, friendship and
doing the right thing. This new version of The Littlest Angel
features wonderful animation and great vocal talent, including
Ron Perlman (“Beauty and The Beast,” Tangled), and is sure to
become a holiday favorite, much like the book it’s based on. The
Littlest Angel is a motion picture that will put a smile on
everyone’s face, and what better gift is there than that.
