A Small Miracle to be shown on Christmas Day!

The animated film, A Small Miracle, made by Grasshopper Productions in association with Oscar-winning animation company Spider Eye and featuring a musical score by OchreMedia, is to receive its premiere this Christmas on ITV1.

In its preview, The Sun says: "This family cartoon uses music and effects rather than words to tell this touching tale. An old woman is trying to earn some much-needed money before Christmas by playing her accordion in the street. But people passing by are too busy shopping to stop and listen. On her way home across the snowy fields, she discovers the local church has been vandalised. She puts things right and her goodness is magically rewarded."

And the Mirror, in its feature "20 crackers to savour on Christmas Day" calls it: "A charming animated fairytale celebrating the true meaning of Christmas... Perfect family viewing."

Although broadcast times are subject to change, A Small Miracle is currently scheduled for 11am Christmas Day on ITV1.
