Fantastic!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Prancer is a story of the Christmas spirit in the modern age when a motherless little girl and her bitter father come together at the end to watch the injured and captured reindeer fly off toward the full moon on Christmas Eve.We don't know as viewers if the final tinkle of bells was heard only by the girl and whether Prancer magically leaped off of the mountain to join the rest of the reindeer on Santa's sleigh. Is it a real image flying across the moon -- or only in the girl's mind? But her Dad chooses to "see" it too, and believe his child -- all in in the spirit of Christmas.A movie for all ages.

You know Scrooge, and Bailey, and Cratchett, and Nutcracker; Charlie Brown, the Grinch, White Christmas and Rudolph. But Virginia, do you recall this sweet classic from 1989 about a famous reindeer? Prancer was the name of the movie and it's a true classic among Christmas movies.In a story inspired by Yes, Virginia: There Is a Santa Claus, a little girl named Jessica Riggs is being told by others around her there is no Santa yet holds to her faith that he exists. This modern day Virginia O'Hanlon loves Christmas and everything about it, and is horrified to see a street decoration Prancer (the reindeer) damaged in an accident. When she comes upon an injured real reindeer soon after, she assumes it to be Prancer, and hides him and takes care of him. She's feisty at times, but shows a good heart always in her efforts.The child's faith is only part of the story. How Jessica (Rebecca Harrel) touches others who have lost their hope and faith in various ways is even more profound, and touching. A village recluse (Cloris Leachman), a veterinarian (Abe Vigoda), her jaded widowed father (Sam Elliot), her skeptic friend (Ariana Richards), a newspaper writer (Michael Constantine) are all wonderful in these roles.The movie's plot plays out very well; each scene evokes different emotions, and captures them all well. There are scenes that will bring a tear. I'd reference a favorite scene, but just realized there are too many to list.Sweet, heartfelt, genuine, touching. Everything a Christmas movie should be.

Well, Very Few Christmas Movies touches your heart immensely as Prancer do!It really captures the spirit of the Christmas, and shows that not every one have that perfect happy Christmas as they show in many movies! Life may seem & is lonely for many people, even on Christmas, but then Christmas always is magical, and if you believe in it with your heart, Christmas never remains the same, but it becomes more special than ever. This Movie has some marvelous performances by Rebecca Harrell & Sam Eliott, and makes the movie a great watch with the Family, especially on Christmas! Watch it, you wont be Disappointed!

This is a kids' movie. It has a nice cast, but overall the story was certainly not something I'd watch again, or recommend to anyone unless they have a little kids. The film starts off a little slow, and then picks up with some nice photography and an interesting angle about an injured reindeer being rescued. However, it bogs down again and gets annoying as the young girl, "Jessica Riggs" (Rebecca Harrell) whines or is in tears half the time as she tries to save "Prancer," (one of Santa's reindeer) from being discovered by her father. She and her father argue all the time, until the end.Little girls would like this film, but not many other people. The ending is too hokey, too.
