This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I was flipping through channels when i came across this movie on USA. And i didn't regret it!! This movie was wonderful.'Prancer Returns' is about a boy who found a reindeer and discovers that it's Prancer's son from the first movie ( i haven't seen it, so i dunno ). But the local Vice Principal from his school is determined to have it put down. Does he succeed?? Well, that is something that you have to find out by watching it.Now if i can only find the prequel......
A fine cast, particularly John Corbett and Stacy Edwards, with good performances from the youngsters, aids this otherwise slightly better-than-average Christmas tale to achieve a high level of entertainment value and sentimental expression. No, it's not for the cynical, but its admixture of the difficulties broken families experience during the holidays particularly and the hope that Christmas engenders in all but the hardest-hearted of us brings the potential for love and progress to the fore for the audience.There's no reason not to enjoy this and let wistfulness take charge once a year. As another reviewer said, it will become a regular at Christmastime, and it should.Oh. A final note. Jack Palance is excellent in his small but significant role.
"Prancer Returns" is a Christmas fantasy that actually outperforms the original "Prancer."It is a combination coming of age story involving the older brother of the young boy who is the protagonist, a love story involving the mom and an old friend of the family and it is a Christmas story involving the hope generated in mankind each Dec. 24.The show is not as dark as the original movie. It is more light-hearted and fun throughout. It will surely become a Christmas classic.
