Rating: Summary: Shouldn't have been made! Review: For Christmas, leave this film off your list! The acting is terrible, the story isn't very good, and, for having been made in 1989, the picture quality is bad, even on the DVD version. In my opinion, this 105 min. stinkfest shouldn't have been made. I don't like it, but since we're all different, you might like it. So if you like it, get it, but for those who haven't seen it, stay as far away from it as possible!

This is one great movie that no can resist...and if you don't like it, "ALL RIGHT FOR YOU!!!!!"
Rating: Summary: A heartwarming Christmas Story, a must for every family! Review: Here is a story that brings us all back to what Christmas is all about faith, love, hope, and family. This film tells the story of a young girl, Jessica, that keeps the joyous feeling of Christmas in her heart all year long. Her mother has died and her father is struggling to raise a son and daughter as well as a failing farm. Circumstances seem too much, and he contemplates sending Jessica to live with a nearby aunt. This upsets Jessica because family is as important to her as Christmas, especially as she has already lost one parent. While this is going on, Jessica discovers an injured reindeer, and she needs to help him as "he is one of Santa's ". With an injured reindeer and an injured family, Jessica applies the necessary healing with hope, faith and love. Her true innocence and undying belief in all that is good and wonderful (God and Santa) brings a family and a town together in a joyous celebration.
Rating: Summary: Prancer Review: Hey, people. This is what I call a Christmas disapointment! For a 1987 film, it looks really old and the acting just isn't very well. I would call it a B movie. I personally don't like this movie, but everybody is different, so you might. So, watch, if you dare...
Rating: Summary: Just didn't hold my interest. Review: I bought this DVD because the cover looked nice and the plot sounded interesting. But despite the high quality of the actual picture, the cinematography was not quite what I've come to expect of in modern movies, and I thought the whole film could have used a healthy dose of editing. I had been looking forward to watching it with a friend, but we both lost interest within 20 minutes. I tried again later on my own, but didn't make it much farther. Thankfully there was a minor glitch in the DVD menu, so I was able to persuade the store to take it back and let me get a different DVD.
If you're really into Christmas movies, you might like this one, but if you're used to the latest cinematography techniques, riveting plots, and DVD's with all the extras, then you had better at least rent this one before you buy it.
Rating: Summary: This movie gets me every time!! Review: I first saw this movie in 1989 when it came out in the theatre ( I was just married and my husband took me to see it). Well I swear I have seen this movie at least 300 times since then and it gets me every time, this movie is awesome. Sam Elliot who is always great is in it and does a great job as the rough around the edges dad with a soft heart deep down inside. This movie will get you in the spirit of things. I have 3 kids now and they watch this movie all year long. You need this movie for your holiday library!!!
Rating: Summary: One of the best recent Christmas movies! Review: Our family discovered PRANCER last Christmas and it will be a tradition to watch it every year! The touching story of how a widowed dad rediscovers his love for his daughter and for childhood after the little girl (who gives a touching performance) finds a wounded reindeer and, believing it to be Santa's Prancer goes to some lengths to nurse it back to health. The child's stubborn belief in Santa Claus touches everyone she meets and some terrific and lovely changes occur in the small snow covered town as a result. This is a MUST SEE Christmas movie. It should be on everyone's list. (I cry with every showing!)
Rating: Summary: Approach with caution Review: Prancer is a Christmas story and it is a touching depiction of innocent faith and hope but this doesn't mean you can just plop your kid down in front of it and wander off. The little girl heroine in Prancer has just lost her mother and her grieving father isnt' much help. Her sorrow and her father's pain is honestly shown and this may disturb very young or nervous children. Of course the movie wraps up with a happy ending for one and all but it is for either adults or older kids only.
Rating: Summary: Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus Review: Prancer is the story of a little girl named Jessie and her love for an injured reindeer whom she believes is Santa's reindeer Prancer. It is a lovely story of faith and love. Jessie has recently lost her mother, and now she and her brother and father are alone. Because crops are failing, her father decides she is to go live with her Aunt Sarah, but Jessie doesn't want that. She proves to her father and everyone around her that she is needed at home with her brother and dad, not with her Aunt Sarah. She further proves the bond between people in a small town and how they stand up for each other in a time of crisis.Her favorite story is the story of a little girl named Virginia, a true life child who wrote a letter to Santa Claus, and the letter wound up in the hands of a newspaper editor. She wanted to prove there really was a Santa Claus and the newspaper editor said, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus..." This true life story happened around 1900. So when Jessie goes to visit the "helping" Santa Claus at the mall, she tells him to deliver a letter to the "real" Santa, that she has Prancer and that she wants to meet Santa up on a cliff so that Prancer can be reunited with Santa. This letter finds ITS way to a newspaper editor, and before long the entire town knows about this loveable reindeer. This is a video for children ages 2 to 102, and I give this movie 5 stars for being so entertaining and wonderful, and for bringing tears to my eyes every one of the 100 or more times I've seen it.
Rating: Summary: A truly touching, magical journey for the whole family! Review: The scenery alone is reason enough to see this movie. The little girl that plays Jessica is a wonderful actress, and I was sorry not to see her in anything after this movie. This is a nice alternative to the sometimes sappy, jello mold movies that tend to come out around the holidays. It is a truly unique story that has been loved in my family since it came out, 8 or so years ago!
