Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Hooves of Fire" is a half-hour animated special for television that won quite a share of awards, such as BAFTA television award and also a prestigious honor at the Berlin Film Festival. I will not go into detail about the voice actors in here as you can check the list for yourself, but this is a pretty impressive lineup, especially in the American version. Maybe that one is already the superior one as the British original was not a great watch. There are many occasions when the film so obviously tries to be funny, but comes short completely. Yes there are a couple funny scenes and this is certainly not a complete failure, but it is not a good watch either I think. I myself did not like the animation style, but this is just personal preference of course. Finally, in terms of the story, this felt like a pretty weak version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" to me. They obviously wanted to give it a more modern approach, but I cannot say that I liked what I saw. Not recommended, not even during the holidays. Thumbs down and I really hope the two sequels will be better.

mikamavvers i remember i watched this when i was 4 years old, and i loved it, even if i was too young too actually know what the reindeer's where talking about, ha-ha. i also remember i used to call Robbie Rhudolph because i never could say Robbie ha-ha. i still watch it now and even though it is on video tape, it is still as funny as it was when i first saw it XD. i plan to buy the DVD, but i cannot seem to find it at all. i still love the animation and how it is filmed, it almost looked real when i was 4 ha-ha, especially when the snowman is melting and the snow melting from him did look real to me at that age.xx maverick xx

James In 1999, when Hooves Of Fire was put into production, who could've known that it would have turned out to be one of the best Christmas films ever made. From that echoing opening music, to the brilliant acting by Adral O'Hanen (Or however it's spelt), playing Robbie, "Robbie The Reindeer's" first appearance has blown away fans, not just in Britan, but all over the world.According to the narrator, the film is set in "Coldchester," which is Norther than North, where good old Santa (Father Christmas, Saint Nicolous) lives. Robbie, son of Rudolph, ("Don't EVER... say that name.") has turned up to take a position on the sleigh. At first, there is some mistaken identity ("It's a... It's a... It's a thing!"), which is soon settled ("It must be the last of some poor, endangered animal."), then re-opened ("Cool! Let's kill it!"), and then settled once more ("Call me Robbie, 'cus, I am.") And those jokes are nothing compared to some of the films other lines.This film will captivate audiences all over the world at any time of the year. A FULLY recommended Christmas comedy with a gift. Maybe you could sit down and watch it late on Christmas Eve, early on Christmas morning, after Christmas lunch, or late at night before bed. Whenever you watch it, be it Christmas, Christmas Eve, or April, you will love it.

tributarystu Few tiny spoilersIt just so happened, or, better said, I just so made it happen, that I saw this short animated movie. The story is about a reindeer who has to fight his way(metaphorically speaking) out of his father's shadow, the greatest reindeer of all times, which I suppose is Rudolf. It's a somewhat funny production, but it lacks a certain rythm in the way the reindeers move and the story itself is simply a nice story for children. Still, it's got some parts which raise above average and above what you'd expect from this thing, so I think I can be pleased with it all. I mainly wanted to see this for the first few seconds in which Robbie Williams is the narrator, in a kind of attempt to prepare myself for his future productions, in which he "lends" his voice. 7/10
