In the first movie she was known as the Heavely Whippet.

In the second she was given a name and a voice change.

So: Annabelle better in the first movie, second,or the series and why.


Forgot to post my reason,heh.

In the first movie she sounded a lot younger to me and somewhat gullible,-weird since "they know EVERYTHING"

However, in the second like dqst said,she had more authority and sounded like-well,again like dqst said:a preschool teacher.

the robe made her look more angelic,but I was surprised to see her character change like that.


But I still sense that even though her appearance and voice changed she still sang the same rap she did before.(meaning she still took her job way too seriously,but hey she's not just an angel she's a whippet,and she's not just a whippet,she's Annabelle the "flying nun"

For me, my pick would go to ADGTH 2

In the first movie Annabelle's character was from my point of view, very bland and not something to really talk about. She had the basic of her character at best.


The amazing thing about Bebe Neuwirth is that she took a character that had no type of style as a character and really make something out of nothing. I have said that Bebe is the best type of voice that Annabelle chould ask for, because she finds the right type of additude, that is of a pre-school teacher.

She has to have some authority on charlie and itchy, but not to much where she whould lose her moral/angle style.

I also think that Bebe should been given credit for voiceing two characters, and thats something that no one else can say.

The first movie.

Regardless of a name or not, I found her more appealing in the first movie.
I just could'nt take her seriously wearing that robe she had on...

I agre with what Zenoah said, I loved Annabell in the first movies but her new voice and design I wasn't too found of.
(Her old voice seemed really pretty to me).

first movie definitley, hated her in the 2nd .. the robe just made her too anthromorphic.. they did a better job in the series .. but they kept going back and forth whether to give her wings or not..

Why are you all judging her character in the first movie? She wasn't even given a NAME in the first movie, of course you're not supposed to read into her too much. But eventually you see that she's not this clutzy "preschool teacher" (true, it was funny to see her get tricked like that, but later on you see her in a different light. Pardon the expression). She's an angel, and a rather forgiving one at that.

She wasn't a "GODDESS" like she was made out to be in the second movie. But she was used too much for comic relief and all that, I just could not take her seriously.

I won't even comment on the series.

I like the Annabelle in the first part. It is there such a dear, good emotional and feminine. There was a cheerful sunny disposition. Inaschet drawing. She traced it better than other parts. Adds special glamor to her red ribbon, which is then not pictured.

In the second part she was not the same as in the first. And the portrayal and character. It is much harder and more serious.

I think she rpesented an interesting character in the series, more so than in the movies. In some of the episodes she showed some real iron, so to speak, not to mention a slightly barbed sense of humor. They made her less like a typical greeting card angel without depriving her of her moral integrity (i.e. her angelicness).

Annabelle is and will always be my #1 whippet character of the two movies and series. She is a graceful dancer when Charlie commented on her moves during their so-called waltz in heaven but when he spun her about of course, she laughs and said "Oh, I'm getting dizzy!"

She reminds me of Obi-Wan Kenobi of Star Wars, the Jedi Knight and Master, strong in the light-side of the Force and skilled with a light-saber too. As for her twin cousin-sister Belladonna in All Dogs Go to Heaven the Series, she reminds me of Darth Sidius-Emperor Palpatine the Sith Lord!
