Eight-year-old farm girl Harrell, who marches to her own beat--and whose widowed father (Elliott) is knuckling under to financial pressure--nurses a wounded reindeer she believes is one of Santa's own. While it occasionally is a bit too obvious and cute, for kids it's a charming fantasy about a child's undying devotion to an animal, and for adults it's an effectively sentimental mirror of childhood innocence.
