A Belle for Christmas

Ace & the Christmas Miracle
After an unjust divorce, Amanda (Brande Roderick) is left scrambling to ensure a bright future for her 10-year-old son, Daniel. But just when hope feels out of reach, the Annual California Wine Country Christmas Derby brings unexpected hope. She hires Tony, a down-on-his-luck pest control technician, to keep her horse Ace (voiced by Jon Lovitz) out of the race. What seems like a simple job takes a whimsical turn when Tony discovers he can actually hear Ace speak. Together, they hatch a better plan to save the day.
The NeverEnding Story
