Robbie the Reindeer DVD

You need to enjoy 'British' humor to watch this DVD, but all in all it does add to anyones Christmas DVD collection. February 22, 2008

Remastered Rubbish added to a great movie!

I didn't ask for Ben Stiller and Britney Spears to voice over the actors in this amazing film! I am very disappointed. There is nothing better than the original version. Our whole family was looking forward to having this favorite on DVD for future Christmases. The charm and whit, the British accents, gone, the whole thing is ruined.

Buyers beware! "US Version" means they took out the heart of the movie! Make sure what you're getting is the original film and you won't regret it.

added later:
thank God! there is an "alternate" uk voicetrack! please please do not watch this movie without selecting it first in the audio options. yay, my purchase was not a total loss! December 10, 2007

Good for some people

Humor could have been better. Oh well win some lose some. Thought it would be more like Creature comforts. July 31, 2007

Enjoyable way to spend time but nothing outstanding

I certainly enjoyed my time watching Robbie, but I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it to anyone but animation buffs. I listened to it with the British soundtrack (an option you can select on the American disc), and I enjoyed the humor and the storyline, but there was very little that made me laugh out loud or that I thought about even an hour later.

The humor was crass at times and definitely not suitable for children. I think the crassness of the humor made it less funny, like they were trading cleverness for crassness and hoping we wouldn't notice the difference.

I'd love to see more from the animators, because this was a near miss. A little bit more time spent writing good dialogue or a funny plot would have gone a long way towards making this a five star show.

Until then, try Wallace and Gromit or Creature Comforts - both are cleverly hilarious and have truly fantastic claymation. January 27, 2007

Funny, but inapporpiate for very young children

Robbie The Reindeer is really a comedy greared for older kids maybe 8 or 10 years old and up. It's not innocent entertainment for very young children like my three year old son. I did not want him to watch it, so it is going to his older cousins. They will get a kick out of it. December 23, 2006
