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 and decides to sell it to the butcher, not for venison chops, but as an advertising display.

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/

fresh:
Harrell carries the film with an impressive performance for a child whose only previous experience was as a singing litterbug in a school play.

rotten:
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.
