Movie Reviews of Olive the Other Reindeer

Movie Review: I Love the Artwork, but It's No Rudolph
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm a big fan of J. Otto Seibold's art work. His Alice in Wonderland pop-up book is amazing and I have the Mr. Lunch address book. I purchased this dvd as a gift for my nieces - and ended up receiving a copy from my brother the same day. The kids were glued to it - but I found a little something lacking in the story. Still, if you're a Seibold fan or are looking to incorporate a new holiday film into your repertoire, I recommend this along side classics like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman and Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.

Summary of Olive the Other Reindeer

In this delightfully funny animated adventure, "Olive, the Other Reindeer" is erally a kind-hearted dog who sets out to save Christmas when she hears that Blitzen is injured and Santa can't find a replacement! With the help of a smooth-talking penguin named Martini, Olive heads for the North Pole to join the flying reindeer team - but along the way, they must defeat an evil mailman who wants to end Christmas so he can carry less mail! With an all-star voice cast featuring Drew Barrymore, Ed Asner, Dan Castellaneta and Peter MacNicol, "Olive, the Other Reindeer" is sure to become a holiday tradition for young and old!

Simpsons creator Matt Groening helped create this delightful animated adaptation of the popular Christmas book. Originally shown on the Fox channel in 1999, Olive deals with a upstanding dreamer of a pooch (voiced expressively by Drew Barrymore) who hears Santa's angst when Blitzen breaks a leg just before the holiday, messing up Santa's delivery schedule. Olive hears Santa's quote about "all of the other reindeer" as "Olive, the other reindeer," and she is convinced she must go to the North Pole to help. Using equal parts traditional Christmas themes (unselfishness, the importance of being good instead of naughty) and Simpsons-esque humor (wordplay, contemporary cultural references), the 45-minute short is a refreshingly fun holiday pleaser. Purists may chafe at the action pieces and a scene in a rough 'n' tumble bar, but the filmmakers keep the spirit--and the unique look--of J. Otto Seibold's and Vivian Walsh's book. With some snappy songs (including one performed by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe) and great zingers (one reindeer calls Rudolph an urban legend), it's a fine holiday time for ages 5 and older. --Doug Thomas
