Synopsis:
After mis-hearing a radio broadcast about Santa canceling his Christmas trip because of an injured reindeer, Olive the dog decides to travel to the North Pole and volunteer to be a replacement. Unfortunately, Olive must deal with an evil postman who’s tired of handling all the extra Christmas mail. Will Martini the penguin be able to help Olive realize her dream?
Quick Thoughts:
I came across another reviewer noting that “Olive The Other Reindeer” was a trans allegory film… so I had to check it out. First of all, there is nothing that definitely notes Olive’s sexuality. Which isn’t too surprising as it’s a kids animated film. But there surprisingly are undertones and subtext that could be viewed as a trans allegory. Olive truly believes she is Santa’s missing reindeer, even when everyone else tells her she’s not. Something that our trans kin have to face more than they should. So I’m adding it to the Database as a trans holiday film. But have a watch yourself and let me know what you think!
