Trivia:
The title is based on a "misheard lyric", a spoonerized or comically misinterpreted phrase from a popular song; the title is from the passage "all of the other reindeer" from "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Several of the character names are similarly derived. The name "Richard Stands" is a malapropriation of the phrase "which it stands" in the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. Likewise, the character name "Round John Virgin" is taken from the phrase "round yon virgin" from "Silent Night". more

Olive: I didn't know Rolex had three X's?

Enchanting Christmas Movie, 23 January 2000
10/10
Author: Scout419 from Washington DC

This Christmas movie, is destined to be a wonderful Christmas classic. Olive the other Reindeer is a charming Christmas story with a bit of abstract modern animation that still manages to be very endearing and quite original compared to the very frequent re-hashings of Christmas type stories. I hope they release this movie on DVD or Video, I would certainly buy it. I hope this wonderful movie is aired again next year.
