A hodgepodge of Heidi and Meet Me in St. Louis.
This is a tale about faith and love, but it's also a story of coldness and death. Prancer, you might say, puts the winter solstice back in Christmas/
Harrell carries the film with an impressive performance for a child whose only previous experience was as a singing litterbug in a school play.
Prancer remains a real curiosity -- a movie that`s far from being successful on its own terms, yet better than those terms would suggest.
Its plodding competence can't provide that effortless magical touch that Christmas classics are made of.
Harrell's brash debut, the use of animism and the story's sincerity add interest.
Audience Reviews for Prancer
Old-fashioned christmas movie.
Super Reviewer
Funny and charming, even if it is a typical Christmas film. Rebecca Harrell and Sam Elliott are wonderful.
Super Reviewer
A touching family film. A good movie to watch on Christmas Eve! Not amazing, but worth seeing!

Prancer Quotes
| John Riggs: | You tear apart the babies rattle, and you see what makes the noise inside. But there is a veil covering the unseen world, which not the strongest man could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love and romance, can push aside that curtain and view the beauty and the glory beyond. Is it all real? Virginia, in all this world, there is nothing else real in the body...Santa Claus, thank god he lives. And lives forever, a thousand years from now, ten times ten thousand years from now, and he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. |
