Prancer (1989)

Directed by John D. Hancock

Holiday | Family | Drama

Overview

Jessica, the daughter of an impoverished apple farmer, still believes in Santa Claus. So when she comes across a reindeer with an injured leg, it makes perfect sense to her to assume that it is Prancer, who had fallen from a Christmas display in town. She hides the reindeer in her barn and feeds it cookies, until she can return it to Santa. Her father finds the reindeer an decides to sell it to the butcher, not for venison chops, but as an advertising display.

Viewing Notes

Honestly had no idea that this was an 80s movie. Kinda blown away by that. Not really my speed but a sweet family film for the holidays. Sam Elliot goes a long way to making this watchable for me. Also not sure why they had Cloris Leachman all done up like a New England witch.
