VHS Movie Reviews of Prancer [VHS]
Movie Review: Family holiday movie for teaching oppty.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie (not its copycat) is well worth the price and time for viewing. I have always felt that this movie is one of the most underrated of all holiday offerings. The value comes from the opportunity to help children understand that, despite the "tinsel" (flimsy Pollyanna themes) commonly used in Christmas stories, there are real difficulties that families face and are often brought to the surface during the holidays. There are many teaching moments in the film, including the sensitivity to poverty, seniors, animals, hope and despair in the holidays, sibling conflict, and tender reconciliation and forgiveness. This film is better for the more mature youngster, perhaps age 9 and above. Rebecca Harrelson, the brilliantly directed young lead, is showcased in the outstanding light of stars Sam Elliott, Cloris Leachman, and Abe Vigoda. This is a movie to share and discuss with your child; my kids and I grew closer because of that communication.Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great family classic Holiday movie. I love it, and would recomend it to anyone.Movie Review: Most amazing movie ever I believe if I could only watch 1 movie ever again it would be Prancer!
Summary: 5 Stars
Prancer is the most amazing beautiful perfect movie ever created on this earth, I constantly dream and pretend I am Jessica Riggs she is the most amazing character I have ever seen. I like to sit on my bed and read Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus from my book that I purchased because it was Jessies favorite story. This movie touches my heart so much I watch it all through the year but a few times a week starting on Halloween through Christmas. Every single thing about "Prancer" is wonderful every character and of course Prancer himself, and I believe it is as much about believing in God and heaven as it is in Santa Claus. Every time I watch Prancer by the end of the movie I am crying really hard it just grabs my heart so much. This is the best movie of all time trust me I have been loving it since I was 8 in 1989 when it was in the theaters( at the same time as little mermaid and all dogs go to heaven 2 of my other favorite movies!) If you love good movies , great movies, magical movies, total masterpieces then you must own Prancer on DVD!!! BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME TRUST ME!!!!Movie Review: A HEARTFELT MOVIE!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE THIS MOVIE; THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE. THIS IS ALSO A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE WHO LIKES FAMILY AND HOLIDAY MOVIES!!!!!
Summary of Prancer [VHS]
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!A reindeer doesn't have to fly to be magical to someone, and Prancer succeeds, in its unassuming and plainspoken way, to prove that point. This 1989 family film stars Rebecca Harrell as 9-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. Followed 12 years later by a sequel, Prancer Returns. --Tom Keogh
