Robbie the Reindeer: Difference between revisions

Two sequels have followed: ''Legend of the Lost Tribe'' (2002) and ''Close Encounters of the Herd Kind'' (2007). In the former, Robbie discovers a tribe of lost Vikings, and in the latter, Donner is kidnapped by aliens. Clearly, neither special was Christmas-oriented.

 

* [[All Animation Is Disney|All British Animation Is Aardman]]: The style is very clearly Aardman-esque, and although several Aardman staff members worked on it, it's not ''per se'' an Aardman production.

* [[And This Is For]]: Blitzen pushes Robbie with a reasoning of "this is for you", then moves one of the race obstacles while saying "and ''this'' is for daddy!"

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Donner and Vixen.

* [[Christmas Special]]: Duh.

* [[Exposed Animal Bellybutton]]: Robbie.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Present in the original dub but removed from the CBS version:

'''Blitzen''': My my. Looks like Christmas has come early. }}

* [[Gilligan Cut]]: With Old Jingle: "I'd have to be raving mad to push my house up the hill." Guess what he does in the next shot.

* [[Pop Star Composer]]: [[Dire Straits|Mark Knopfler]] did the music.

* [[Rasputinian Death]]:

'''Blitzen''': Not particularly, no. }}

* [[Same Language Dub]]: The CBS dub.

* [[Santa Claus]] and [[Mrs. Claus]]: Even ''she'' has a beard.

* [[The Scottish Trope]]: One [[Running Gag]] involves Blitzen preventing anyone from saying Rudolph's name.

* [[Alien Invasion]]

** [[Ozzy Osbourne]] as a bat.

* [[I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin]]
