Prancer
Movie • 1989 • Family
ReportSynopsis
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 an decides to sell it to the butcher, not for venison chops, but as an advertising display.

No animals are abused. There is talk of butchering the reindeer for meat, but it never happens.

The father acts emotionally abusive and dismissive of his child throughout the movie; his behavior can be very upsetting for abuse survivors.

No. Technically a story is read twice that says, "You tear apart the baby's rattle, see what makes noise inside." It's meant to be wholesome.

Jessica is very sad and says, "I'm going to die," but it is not in a suicidal manner.

No one is gaslighted in the movie. But the feeling of the movie that Jessica might be crazy and the reindeer isn't really Santa's can be very depressing.

Jessica's father plans to send her to live with her aunt. It's not abandonment but it's upsetting. However, this does not happen, and she stays with her father and brother Steve.
