Plot
Already a holiday favorite in Britain, Robbie the Reindeer: Hooves of Fire features the voice of comedian Ardal O'Hanlon as a plucky reindeer eager to become one of Santa's chosen sleigh-pullers. To achieve his goals, however, he has to overcome the slings and arrows of Blitzen, who feels threatened by Robbie's fancy hoofwork. In the spirit of animator Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit series, Robbie the Reindeer was designed by the BBC's Bristol Animation Unit and also features the all-star voices of Jane Horrocks, Rhys Ifans, and pop star Robbie Williams, the latter crooning an updated version of "Come Fly with Me." ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
