Movie Info

This holiday-themed children's film offers a unique take on the legend of Santa Claus and his tiny reindeer. In this movie, a young boy finds a deer in the forest he is sure is Santa's beloved Prancer. Determined to return the creature to the North Pole and his rightful destiny, the child overcomes the cynicism of his family to teach them and us a lesson about the true spirit of Christmas.

Critic Reviews for Prancer Returns

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2)

USA Network should reap big returns with this sequel to the 1989 theatrical release Prancer, a live-action heartwarmer.

If the "classic" holiday movies have all been played to death and you're still pining for more, then you could do a lot worse than giving Prancer Returns a spin.
