Robbie: The Reindeer You Forgot About

[@midnightthesmartfox9981]

Ah memories

[@elmono6299]

I remember seeing this Christmas gem on Nickelodeon when I was in 5th grade. It was very underrated and easily one of my favorite Christmas shorts. 🦌

Core memory unlocked

[@otaking3582]

There was an ad for this special on one of my Wallace & Gromit DVD's as a kid, but I never actually watched Robbie until I rented it from my college library. I questioned what the hell I watched...

[@natnerdz]

Jokes on you, I grew up on Robbie. Loved watching it every year growing up.

[@NostalgicRevisits]

It brings me much joy knowing there are people like you who watched this every year like I did.

[@GODZILLA2915]

Ha, jokes on you! That three armed whale toy Robbie made randomly popped into my memory last month and it took me under five minutes to remember this film existed afterwards!

[@sweets_Cat88]

It’s kinda hard to not forget about this Tv special… especially when some creative choices used on some of the reindeer characters

[@NostalgicRevisits]

@@sweets_Cat88 Haha! Good point!

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

5:09 that's Welsh actor Rhys Ifans who voiced that elf who you may remember as Curt Conners aka the Lizard in the Amazing Spider-Man

[@tonnewebber6533]

Also I feel like I have seen this movie before but maybe like once or twice in passing, this video will definitely have me looking for the British dub

[@tonnewebber6533]

I love this style of commentary video, and I was just scrolling through my KZbin recommended and came across this and didn't even notice how small of a channel you were. I'm really sad that this is your first and only video because I can't wait to see more lol.

[@NostalgicRevisits]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve already got a few projects in the works for the beginning of the new year, so stay tuned!

Funny story: As a kid I watched all 3 movies multiple times when they aired on TV. While watching the third, my mom told me that I should go to bed. Ofc I didn't want to, because the movie hasn't ended yet. She told me that the movie probably soon will air again, so I can watch it then. Accepting that argument, I went to bed. THIS WAS THE LAST TIME THIS MOVIE AIRED IN GERMANY (THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN).

This just appeared in the sidebar of another video I was watching. I was *just* talking to my sister-in-law about this. I remember watching it on Fox Kids. I vaguely remember the little jingle/commercial “once left Robbie to be frozen” This earns a chance subscribe. I also miss Olive the other Reindeer

[@guybarryman]

Great video my guy!, it’s diabolical that this/you haven’t blown up yet. Keep up the excellent work!

[@NostalgicRevisits]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@otaking3582]

10:42 Rob Paulsen?! What is HE doing here??

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

The voice of Antione from Sonic Satam

[@otaking3582]

@@williampulfer-melville8536 THAT'S the first character that comes to your mind and not Raphael, Carl Wheezer, Gray Fox, or even Bravoman?

[@D.W.Granata]

What about Yakko?

[@otaking3582]

@@D.W.Granata Him, too.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I never heard of the US dub this was interesting as I watched the UK version.

[@Nunnyahbizhen]

I saw the original British dub first and loved it. The American dub clearly sounds like a paycheck recording.

[@petefilous]

i love the idea of redubbing a film in the same language it was in to begin with. amazingly pointless. im going to start doing this myself so that everything i watch can have my exact regional accent!

[@Meritania]

I don’t blame the American cast, the director of the American cast however needed to get off his arse to motivate his team. Like they are all talented people and it wasn’t just one bad apple…

[@feeble_goblin3764]

Does anyone remember a stop motion movie about mooses that wanted to find vikings? It was stop motion i think. Looking for that movie made me find this one

[@NostalgicRevisits]

@@feeble_goblin3764 I believe that is actually one of the Robbie The Reindeer specials. Legends of the Lost Tribe.

[@feeble_goblin3764]

Do not lie to me bro please subbing till i get the answer

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Sometimes I do question recasting Steve Coogan with Hugh Grant another British actor for the US dub as Blitzen

[@NostalgicRevisits]

I've wondered the same thing since Grant is basically just doing an impression of Coogans performance.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

​@@NostalgicRevisitsindeed with the only difference being when he mocks Robbie as Hugh Grant briefly dose an American accent to imitate Ben Stiller in a similar vein to Steve Coogan when he imitated Ardal O'Hanlon's Irish accent for when Blitzen is mocking Robbie

[@deadeye_john]

Did I?

[@anominon]

I remember this It's really weird to hear it got an American DUB. Like, it was already in English, why did it get a DUB just in another accent?

[@Acidonia150reborn]

It was never aired much on UK TV but I thought the US Dub was a made up thing.Still not as bad as the US Dub of the Magic roundabout movie renamed to Doogal though i doubt anyone will top that in badness.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

I personally prefer the original UK dub over the American dub

[@thomastracey7677]

nuhuh

[@riatsila144]

Just right off the bat...redubbing it with a bunch of big American voices was such a stupid choice.

[@NostalgicRevisits]

@@riatsila144 100%. Never made sense to me why they did this.

[@D.W.Granata]

Oh, yeah? Well, editing the first 2 specials for time, and putting them into an hour-long timeslot for CBS* (42 minutes with approx. 18 minutes of ads crammed in.) and cropping them for 4;3, (despite being originally presented in 16;9 as aired on BBC1 in the UK) and keeping them cropped that way, was another stupid choice! *from 2002 all the way to 2005, and from 2016 all the way to 2023.

[@NostalgicRevisits]

@@D.W.Granata This is some new information I didn't know about since I never saw the airings on CBS. That's insane.

[@jonathanwallis3300]

Hey, at least THIS American dub was decent, and not unbearably cringy like what they did to “Magic Roundabout”/“Doogal.”
