Amazon.co.uk Review
A reindeer doesn't have to fly to be magical to someone, and Prancer proves the point in an unassuming and plainspoken way. This 1989 family film stars Rebecca Harrell as nine-year-old Jessica, a motherless schoolgirl raised (and largely ignored) by her bereaved and embittered father (Sam Elliot), an apple farmer. While Jessica's dad struggles to keep food on the family table, the little heroine worries over the fate of a wounded reindeer she meets and wistfully identifies as a member of Santa's sled crew. The story may sound overly precious, but the film is grittier and more realistic than that. Far more concerned with wobbly family relationships than gilded escapism, Prancer is a rare family film that can entertain without invoking fluffy enchantment. It was followed 12 years later by a sequel, Prancer Returns. --Tom Keogh
Synopsis
A motherless young girl living with her father on a failing farm finds herself inspired by her belief in Santa Claus and his flying reindeer. When she discovers that a real reindeer has fallen into ill health, she nurses it back to its prime, believing it is the actual Prancer, so she can return it to Santa and Prancer might pull his sleigh.
