This film proves that there are still unspoiled hearts left on Planet Earth. Those who find it sappy or irrelevant have spent too much time wearing Grinch suits and need a good dose of humanity to thaw that hard matter in their chests that passes for a heart. The child actors are the heart of _Prancer_. They are real, never overacting or coming off as children playing at making a film. Sam Elliot is the epitome of the overstressed, depressed man who has lost his wife and despairs of losing everything else too. His transformation is believable and worthy of the time spent to watch his character unfold. Cloris Leachman is a delight as the female Scrooge who is touched by two children--Jessica who reintroduces her to the joy of Christmas, and a little boy in church who reintroduces her to the joy of human fellowship. Above all, this is a story of transition. The earnest child must move forward to knowledge, and the jaded grownup must move back to mystery and faith. If your Christmas is too much take and not enough give, I prescribe hot chocolate, hot buttered popcorn, and a viewing of Prancer with people you love. Better yet, do as we have and make this movie part of your personal holiday tradition. It might help make you a better person the rest of the year.

Prancer

Not many peop;e remember this movie. Most of my friends have never even heard of it. But at my house, it has always been a huge part of Christmas. Every year we watch it. I think its a beautiful story about believing in Santa (or, Prancer). I love the father, and how in the end he ends up believing to. Or at least, helping Jessica believe. I'm surprised that this one isn't up there with "A Christmas Story". It should be. I love the excerpts from The Virgina Letter. I've been watchign this movie since i was born (literaly) It was made the year i was born. And i will continue to watch it with my children, and grand children.

To me the movie captures the "love" that is so much apart of the reason we celebrate Christmas. It makes me laugh and cry. How great is that!

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!

Not many people seem to remember Prancer, but I saw it in the theater when I was a little girl. The storyline escapes me, since I haven't seen it in years, but I remember I cried quite a bit while I was watching it. Maybe I'll rent it one of these days. It doesn't deserve to be so forgotten.

Prancer is one of those special movies that come along every once in a great while that truly touches your heart. It doesn't rely on gimmicks or special effects, but relies on the characters themselves. Jesse, the central character in the story, finds an injured reindeer near her home, and believes it to be Prancer. And she nurses the reindeer back to health in order to deliver him back to Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. The true meaning of the movie is said by the preacher in the church during the Christmas service. Today's kids grow up so fast, and loose the child-like faith that Jesse has in a few short years. They then don't believe in anything that science doesn't prove. But Jesse, against impossible odds, sticks to her beliefs, and in the end brings back the faith of those who lost theirs long ago. Prancer is one of those holiday movies to buy for both your kids and yourself.

In the town of 3 Oaks Michigan they is an apple farmer that's down on his luck. He is recently widowed with 2 young children who sorely miss their mother. He is in danger of losing his farm. In desperation, He almost sells his tractor but the offer is too meager. His daughter Jessica asks "Are We Poor"? After a wooden reindeer falls off the town's Christmas display, a real Reindeer shows up. A heartfelt and pleasant little Christmas movie about real things that could happen to real people. Jessica saves the animal so it can rejoin Santa's Team in time for Christmas. Is it really "Prancer" or does she only imagine it? Rated down only because it is a "slow mover" and "mean" old Dad always grabs his rifle and threatens to shoot the poor thing. Not for people seeking a CFI-filled feature. A minor Christmas Classic.
