DVD Reviews of Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings That Work
DVD Review: ALLLL-batross!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's wonderful to have this smart little show on DVD. It's multi-layered humor works for my five-year-olds and myself as well. It's a bonus to have your favorite comic characters brought to life.DVD Review: Nice!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this to go along with the book. My five-year-old loves this movie (and the book). I am not fond of Opus's voice, but, usually, cartoon voices don't match up with what we hear when we read, so that is probably just my issue. DVD Review: Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings that Work
Summary: 5 Stars
Surely the funniest Christmas Cartoon story of all time. Lots of laughs for both adults and children. Opus is endearing and Bill is, well Bill.Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings That WorkDVD Review: A classic, modern Christmas tale
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to beat Bill and Opus, especially in this Christmas special. A great purchase for anyone that remembers the special, and it's funny and heart-warming for newcomers to the Bloom County universe.
"Just be glad your wife didn't leave you for an albatross!"
DVD Review: Simply a Good Story
Summary: 5 Stars
This animated special was first shown years ago on network TV, but I don't know that it has been aired since. It was typical Berkley Breathed, and who didn't love Opus? In this tale, Opus simply wants wings that will fly him through the sky. He is teased by other flying birds, who make fun of his attempt to take matters into his own wings (so to speak) to fly upward and soar. He obviously fails with each attempt, and so he imploringly begs Santa for a pair of wings that work for Christmas. But when Santa gets stuck on Christmas Eve, Opus is called on to save the day...and in the end, gains the respect of those full flighted birds who can only watch as Opus helps Santa in a way they simply cannot.
It is a touching story, even if some of the humor and political references are a bit dated. Worthwhile buying and watching over and over again, in my opinion.
Description of Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings That Work
Take your family to Bloom County with the quirky perennial favorite Opus n' Bill in A Wish for Wings That Work, a whimsical, wacky cartoon treat that's as funny for grownups as it is fun for kids! From Pulitzer Prize-winning author-artist Berkeley Breathed, it's a merry, madcap romp with Opus the earthbound penguin and his brain-fried feline cohort, Bill.Wrestling with an unfulfilled wish to soar through the air like any other self-respecting bird, the plucky penguin decides there's only one person who can make his aeronautic dream come true: Father Christmas. Bill the Cat coughs up a wild idea that just may bring a holiday miracle, but when ol' St. Nick finds himself in hot water on December 24th, the fate of Christmas itself suddenly depends on the kind of heroism that only comes in a penguin-sized package! Will Opus come to the rescue and learn the value of being true to oneself?
