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.

I loved the movie it was a touching story.i really thought all the people who played in it did a great job.Expecially Robert clark,he is a great actor and a cutie!!!!i think everyone should get a chance to watch it,its a great movie to watch on Christmas eve with your family.i think it would help you get closer together!!

Since I've never seen the original.This one is more of a comedy too.This time the central character is a boy named Charlie.He has just moved to town(the same town where the first one took place).He meets a man named Tom and asks why Prancer is not on the display.He says about 10 years ago a girl named Jesse found a injured reindeer who was Prancer.She raised him until Christmas Eve when he was reunited with the others.So every year in that town,on Christmas Eve they reunite Prancer with the others on the display.Then we meet Charlie's mom and older brother(who argue a lot).His brother wants to live in Chicago with their dad(they are divorced).Then one day when Charlie is walking home from detention for throwing a snowball at his principal.He is in the woods and sees a baby reindeer.He chases and then finds a old,dead reindeer(Prancer).The baby is Prancer's kid.Charlie names him Prancer after his dad.He teaches him stuff like how to deliver presents and stuff since he will take Prancer's place.After the first few days at Charlie's house,Prancer stays in a barn since he cant stay at the house.But one night he escapes,follows Charlie to school,bites the principal for being mean to Charlie.Animal Control comes and tries to catch Prancer,maybe even kill him.Now Charlie,Tom and the rest have to get Prancer back with the others before any then happens to him.This is a good,funny movie.7/10.
