Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Olive the other reindeer is a film about a disgusting freak of a dog that resembles a reindeer. This is possibly the worst film ever created. The only good thing that resides in this trash heep is that the theme is christmas, and christmas has snow, and theres snow in happy feet, one of the best movies ever made. It cannot be argued that this film does anything for the good of humanity. Not like the mighty penguins in happy feet that help advocate free speech and freedom of expression. Unlike this movie where a dog that wants to be not a dog. Honestly just a complete mess. Story is not cohesive, the characters are not only litterally flat but also just flat in general, the moral of the story just doesnt make sense. If you like this movie you should feel bad. Go watch a superior movie like happy feet.

This has been somewhat overlooked, but it really is a terrific special. It's clever and witty (a characteristic that you don't see enough of these days). Olive is a dog, who thinks she can substitute for one of Santa's reindeer and save Christmas. The choice of villain is inspired -- a mailman who wants to stop Christmas so he won't have to deliver all the cards. Not a lot of big laughs, but it's filled with gentle smiles.The voice work is excellent, and the style is outstanding. There's little attempt to be "realistic," but rather it looks like a picture book (and seems to be sticking closely to the style of the original book).

I thought this movie was very cute. The author was clever with Olive's mistake but it turned into quite an adventure for her!! She's a good-hearted dog whose only concern was that she "do the right thing" and help wherever she could. It held my attention for the entire movie.

I missed this movie the first year it was shown so I was looking forward to it and it was well worth the wait. Drew Barrymore made the main character (Olive) very down-to-earth and likable while Matt Groening's trademark humor provided a number of good one-liners and sight-gags. DNA, responsible for the animation, did a great job as well in keeping the storybook appearance while breathing life into the characters.It's hard to say who the show was targeted at though since a lot of the references and humor weren't completely suitable for children and the whimsical style might have warded a lot of adults off. I found both very refreshing however and will be looking to purchase the DVD. I think this one is bound to become a new holiday classic.
