Elliot, das kleinste Rentier

I had really high hopes for this film when I saw the advert graphic on netflix and read the summary. I thought this would be a nice Christmas film to put on to pass the time. I am a huge fan of animation everything from Disney to indie films. This film is just off and seems very half hearted. It's about 50% good animation with lovely texture and 50% terrible and completely lifeless. The main character lacks texture and it seems almost as if they couldn't quite give him a full character profile, sadly he is very dull to watch. Yet, the sidekick has beautiful flowing texture and seems fully rounded as a character. She is far more likeable and is fun to watch. The script was OK but had far too many adult life references in certain areas. Now I enjoy that in children's films because it makes for fun viewing for the adults but, without good animation it is impossible for the adults to stay interested enough to enjoy them, only the kids are still watching and it will be lost on them. I have no issues with the story but it is a a huge shame that everything else in the film only half complimented it. Such a shame as we had high hopes for viewing. I see it would be a great attempt but it really is just that, an attempt.

The animation is not the best - let's get this straight from the beginning. The dialog could have been better on certain occasions too. Still the movie is fine for little ones and those who are willing to cut this some slack and accept it for what it is - not perfect, but decent enough.

Some things may feel muddled and a bit deluded and tough to comprehend in the story. But overall it is a story about someone who wants to break a standard! You may not agree with this social message, you may like to think in boxes and certain structures that people or things are not supposed to break out of. For everyone else, give it a try. Worse things could be seen - believe that

Interesting story, but graphics are not up to ppar and years beyond disneys. TOO much dialogue in the movie, children will not understand

Elliot the littlest reindeer review

We're starting off this christmasathon pretty weak.

Heres the plot. Elliot is a miniture horse. With dreams of becoming a reindeer for santas sleigh. He finally gets his chance. And theres alot more than just that. But thats basicly the main plot.

First of all. The main problem. I HATE EVERYONE!!! EVERYONE IS SO ANNOYING AND BAD AND STUPID AND AHHHHHH

The animation is atrocious also

The story is pretty basic for a chrismas movie. Its basicly just every other reindeer movie on christmas.

The pacing was ok enough. Tho now that i think of it i feel like they kinda stretched this movie out abit.

Now i should also menton that this is a KIDS MOVIE (atleast i hope it is) But i still think there are WAY better christmas movies to choose for your children than this. Like its bad. But its also boring at some parts... So its bad for everyone!

Voice acting is also pretty trash... Only that elve guy thats on the thumbnail of this video has good voice acting.

Overall this was not a good movie. Characters probably the worst ive ever seen, Story is cliche, Animation is garbage. Voice acting is trash, And overall it was just a bad take on reindeer movies.

Plus i should mention that it doesnt really feel that christmasy. Sure it involves santa and elves and reindeer. But while your watching your think about nothing christmas

So i will rate this a 2/10..

I dont reccomend to anyone.... this sucked.

I honestly tried to watch this with my kids. 1hr in and I still struggled to understand what was going on. The dialogue is sporadic and doesn't flow naturally with the story. They continually introduce new characters and existing characters constantly deviate from their "personality". Same old cartoon tropes-stereotyped animals with exaggerated accents. Overall it's just another generic B-level cartoon.
