So, Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories: The Christmas Witch is one of those quirky gems from the '90s. It follows little Gloria, who is quite possibly the most inept witch-in-training you could imagine, attending this Academy of Young Goblins and Witches. The animation has that charmingly rough quality, like it was made with a lot of love but not quite enough polish. It’s not fast-paced; it kind of meanders along, giving you time to soak in the whimsical, if somewhat offbeat, atmosphere. The themes of self-acceptance and the struggle to fit in resonate, even if they are wrapped up in a rather silly package. The performances, especially Duvall's, have a unique warmth that sets it apart from typical family fare.
