Product Description When eight-year-old Charlie Holton discovers a baby reindeer all alone in the woods, he immediately assumes it is Prancer, one of Santa's famous sleigh-pulling team. Taking the reindeer home with him, Charlie does his best to care for it in the months leading up to Christmas; he even writes to Santa, reminding him to collect Prancer on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, caught in the crossfire of Charlie's innocent belief and the reindeer's loveable antics, the young boy's cynical family soon begin to warm to the true spirit of the season. Amazon.co.uk Review Sleigh bells may not ring briskly for this often-somber sequel to the 1989 hit Prancer, but there is plenty to like about its sympathetic characters and wistful storyline. Ten years after the little heroine of Prancer saved a wounded reindeer that might have been a magical member of Santa's flying herd, a friendless boy named Charlie Hooper (Gavin Fink) clandestinely adopts an orphaned buck in the same Michigan town. Convinced that he also has St. Nick's (apparently ever-wandering) Prancer on his hands, Charlie grows determined to lead the deer back to the North Pole. A finely balanced supporting cast (Jack Palance, John Corbett, Michael O'Keefe) brings some interesting textures to this simple tale of redemption and, hey, kids are bound to love the sight of a baby reindeer making himself comfortable in Charlie's bed. Prancer Returns may prove to be a minor holiday classic, worth revisiting every year when the trees grow bare and Christmas is around the corner. -- Tom Keogh
