Amazon.co.uk Review
IRobbie the Reindeer/I is as short as many of the made-for-TV classics that have preceded it. However, so much action, zippy dialogue and witty visual puns have been packed into its 29-minute running time that you'd swear it was longer. The content of the film, like many new animations and cartoons, is geared slightly in favour of older audiences, because of its sexual innuendos and adult comedy, but the kids will love the slapstick comedy and loveable characters. Robbie's father is another stop-motion favourite, IRudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer/I, and pop is keen to see his loveable--but lazy--son follow in his famous hoof prints. The adult theme continues in the shape of the storyline, which was actually inspired more by IRocky/I than by IRudolph/I. As in IRocky/I, there's a supportive female (Donner) and a crusty trainer (Old Jingle). Together they help Robbie get in shape for the Reindeer Games, where he'll have the chance to show Santa whether he has the right stuff or not. Fans of Aardman Animations should appreciate the detailed animation and clever humour. The cream of Britain's comic crop provides the voices, including Jane Horrocks as Donner. Robbie Williams narrates the story, and Mark Knopfler provides the music. --IKathleen C Fennessy, Amazon.com/I

5 out of 5 stars You'll want to see Robbie again and again   November 19, 2001
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

If you like comedy, you'll laugh. And if "Karate Kid" is anywhere back there in your memories, you'll more likely be rolling on the floor (your kids will laugh at you --and that's funny). You will be touched. The music keeps up with the comedy, and the characters have a genuine depth I've seen in "The Adventures of Wallace and Grommit", but with a faster, more cheery mood overall. Children may need to be told (by you) that Robbie is Rudolph's son, as the arch villian refuses to allow anybody in the story to say his name --narrators included-- but the story is unbeatable. If you do not buy this DVD, you are wasting your money on something else.


4 out of 5 stars Great fun!   August 6, 2001

Cute animation for the whole family to enjoy with the usual laughs and action. Great song as usual by Robbie Williams himself- 'Come Fly With Me'. If you like Wallace and Grommit, you'll love this!


4 out of 5 stars As entertaining as Wallace and Grommit any day!   March 22, 2001
  6 out of 6 found this review helpful

If you enjoy Wallace and Grommit then give this video a try. An entertaining and well made animation film. Enjoyable at anytime of the year but excellent at Christmas. An added bonus for Robbie Williams fans of his rendition of come fly with me.pAn excellent buy for young and old alike.

The animation in this 30 minute show is excellent. It was first screened by the BBC last Christmas (1999) and I missed it then.pMade up for it now by getting this on DVD. It is worth every penny.pLots of laughs - good old BBC and Comic Relief
