Springtime means fresh starts. But for young Ryan Newman, his family's fresh start in a small town leaves him feeling dejected and lonely. Enter the Littlest Angel, Heaven's sweet but accident-prone rookie. His first earthly assignment is to help Ryan make new friends, a task that proves difficult for the blond-headed cherub. Littlest Angel zooms back to Heaven for some loving reassurance from the Understanding Angel (voiced by Naomi Judd) and learns, "There are always second chances." Very little discussion about Easter enters into the plot, classifying this 26-minute video as a very lightweight entertainment piece for youngsters. <I>--Liane Thomas</I>
Viewer Reviews I watched this movie with my parents at Christmas last year and all of us were very disappointed. We were all familiar with the story of the "littlest angel" and hoped that a movie with such a cute kid in it would do the story justice; we never expected the most boring musical of all time. A low quality song and dance routine is given for every single little step the kid takes. There is even literally (and I wish I were joking) a song about nothing. I can't imagine any child watching this movie and enjoying it--I am a very patient person who loves movies others consider slow and even I found The Littlest Angel unbelievably dull. When it finally ended I felt I'd been through an ordeal. Needless to say, The Littlest Angel has NOT become a Christmas classic at our house. My recommendation is to find a storybook and avoid this movie at all costs.
