    • @adultmoshifan87
      @adultmoshifan87 4 місяці тому +4

      I think the animation fits this special very well! Plus it’s good to have cartoons that look different to others, as long as it’s justified! I can’t deny that bad animation exists, Angela Anaconda, Rapsittie Street Kids, Mr. Pickles and Legends of Chamberlain Heights being particularly bad offenders, but if you animate your show in a different way and it turns out to be well loved, you’re doing something right! Despite being a straight person, one of my favorite cartoons in the late 2000s is Rick and Steve The Happiest Gay Couple in All The World, and not only does the gay humor in that show crack me up, I like how they chose to animate the show with Lego-esque figures, something they pointed out in the DVD extras had never been done with commercial animation before! Olive here aired on Channel 4 here in Britain every Christmas from 2015-2019 and I’m very pleased to have gotten to watch it in that time, it’s a classic and I hope to show it to my niece (who’s 3 years old at the time of typing) someday!

    This is unironically my favorite Christmas movie, the other being Polar Express. There's just something very endearing about Olive being so determined to help however she can, even if people don't believe her and even if she's not actually a reindeer. She just honestly wants to help, even if people laugh at her; This pup that's been called weirdo most of her life for not acting "normally".

    You know what, that postman didn't doubt that Olive could do it. Everyone else supported her, but they didn't really think she could do it. Martini only partly believed in her when they were at the North Pole. The Postman fully believed that Olive was fully 100% capable of saving Christmas. Sure, he mocked her once when she told him, but that doubt didn't last. He believed in her, and he was committed to stopping this dog from saving Christmas.

      You kinda understand where he was going with how glad he was when Christmas was canceling, having to deliver so much around the holidays without ever getting a rest can leave someone bitter but he made it some sound like he was the only one doing all the deliveries. There’s plenty of postal services that have to deal with that around the holidays but they put up with it. Postal service is in fact an essential job. Maybe he picked that job because it was all he could qualify for, who knows.

    Even if you aren’t feeling jolly, why make terrible memories for yourself to remember Christmas by? You don’t have to be super good, but does that really mean it’s okay to be bad around the only time of year where you don’t have to feel that way?

    People make fun of me for liking this movie, but I honestly don't really care. Yes it's cheesy and the visuals are goofy, but the message is still there and it's extremely nostalgic for me. I remember when Cartoon Network would show these holiday specials the minute it was December, and my child self would always be ready with the Christmas decorations. Such good times those were...

For those who don't get it, that is a film term where the writers literally use a random object or person to get the character out of trouble.

    I loved this special as a kid. And i miss those moments going on the CN channel and watching Christmas classics outside of the Christmas specials they had for their shows. I still like them and I'm so glad the comments are still up for this so others can talk about it.

    I remember seeing this in the early 2000s. I was obsessed with retro games at the time (I had just bought an NES from a store that sold used video games and consoles) and I bought a game to go along with it. The game sucked and the console itself didn't work too well. I was disappointed so I went downstairs to watch a rerun of Olive the Other Reindeer and it made me feel better so I'll always associate this movie with me feeling better.
    Also the guy who wrote this Christmas special also wrote for The Simpsons which explains why it's clever and funny. He wrote Hurricane Neddy which is one of the best episodes imo.

      Damn reruns of modern Cartoon Network shows like We Bare Bears, Teen Titans Go! and Steven Universe on Christmas Day 2016 but on the bright side, you can watch old-time Cartoon Network Christmas favorites on Boomerang. Go check it out and see for yourself. I miss the good old days of Cartoon Network Christmas.

      The animation reminds me of PaRappa The Rapper with the 2D characters and 3D... everything else. Also, the first PTR game came out in America in 1997, two years before this special was made and aired. Um Jammer Lammy (a rockin' spinoff to PTR) was released the same year as this special.
