Editorial Review:
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?
Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings That Work Reviews:
OUTSTANDING OPUS THE PENGUIN VIDEO 
2009-10-07 - If you love Opus the Penguin and reading the Bloom County comics in your newspaper, then you'll love this video. Putting a voice to Opus the Penguin and his "side-kick" Bill the cat, added to the enjoyment that I experience whenever I look at something that includes my favorite penguin, OPUS!
Great film!
2009-08-04 - Good Christmas story. It doesn't even come across as being dated. Berkely Breathed is one of the better cartoonists of our time. I've enjoyed Bloom County, Outland, Opus, etc. ever since we first saw Opus the penguin. It's a lot of fun to watch and is appropriate for everyone.
ALLLL-batross!
2009-04-03 - 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.
Nice!
2009-03-25 - 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.
Opus N' Bill in a Wish for Wings that Work
2009-01-26 - 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 Work
