Prancer Review

Every year the week after thanksgiving my sister and i get our hot chocolate and put on i the movie Prancer. My daughters will call and say what are you watching and I say Prancer of course!!  This is FIRST Christmas movie we watch to kick off the Christmas season. with. The movie is so sweet, and the little girl who plays the lead is an excellent actor. The pain she feels when her Dad says she can't keep the reindeer that she knows is Prancer comes through. Cloris Leachman is a scream playing the town character, and watching her change into a lovable person is delightful. Sam Elliot does an excellent job showing how hard it was to be a single parent, trying to make ends meet especially at Christmas. I still tear up when the little girl and her friend Carol Ann tells her she doesn't believe there is a Santa, or even she wonders about the existence of God,  and her tearful response is..your not my friend any more Carol Ann, because if there is no God then there is no Heaven then where would my mother be without heaven. ..This a great older movie to have ..don't miss out.
