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

Richard Goleszowski's charming Christmas movie Robbie the Reindeer: Hooves of Fire comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a director's commentary track, a photo gallery, complete animated storyboards, cast biographies, and a making-of featurette. This is a superb family friendly release from Warner Bros. The extras actually delve into the making of the film, as opposed to the usually (and rightfully) kid-oriented extras on most family titles. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
