A wounded reindeer and a precocious eight-year-old girl form an everlasting bond in this tender holiday drama about true devotion and friendship. An enchanting film full of "heart and gumption" (Roger Ebert), Prancer will set your imagination aflight! Jessica Riggs (Rebecca Harrell) plays an angel in her school pageant...but she becomes a real guardian angel when she finds an injured reindeer in the forest. Convinced that the deer is Santa's very own Prancer, Jessica vows to nurse him back to health and return him safely home. But before she can carry out her plan, Jessica discovers that her father (Sam Elliott) has made another ? very different ? plan of his own! Will Jessica be able to help her antlered friend find his way back to Santa in time to make their deliveries on Christmas Eve? The magical final scene is sure to make your heart soar!

Summary: a little intense for smaller kids
Comment: I bought this for my 4 and 7 year olds. Sam Elliot's character is pretty mean (in the kid's eyes) and I feel, too intense for smaller children to enjoy.

Summary: WHAT A WONDERFUL MOVIE, MY FAVORITE
Comment: I REMEMBER ONE YEAR PRANCER WAS NOT ON TV OR I MISSED IT. WELL I WON'T MISS IT AGAIN. I BOUGHT IT SO I DON'T. I WISHED I WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL, TO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH A REINDEER. I CRY EVERYTIME AT THE END. I JUST LOVE THIS MOVIE. A TRUE HOLIDAY SPECIAL. BELIEVE ME.

Summary: First 5 minutes, "There is no Santa, no God, and no heaven"
Comment: Ignore the other reviews. My kids, 7 and 4 watched this video in our car dvd player. They became very upset when, in the first several minutes of the movie, one child explains to another child:
1. There is NO Santa Clause
2. How could Santa go down all the chimney's in the world in 1 night, it's not logical
3. There also is NO GOD
4. And NO HEAVEN
This becomes especially upsetting in the movie because the child who is being told this, sadly exclaims, "this(no heaven)can't be true because what about my mom?" (Her mom is dead and the child had previously thought her mom was in Heaven.) This sad, upset child then tells the other child, "You are not my friend anymore."
At this point, I ejected the movie from the DVD player. My kids were bewildered and upset.
Avoid this movie if you have young kids - they will be confused, upset, and it will make you sad too.
