Allegra Frank The Daily Beast 12/05/2022
There’s great music, including a song from Blitzen’s cousin Schntizel, voiced by R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe; wonderfully storybook-ish animation; and smart, wry humor, making Olive more of a silly wintertime adventure than a saccharine holiday movie. Go to Full Review

See more Bill M 12/24/2024 This is a wonderful show that we watch every Christmas. It has great heart and classic Matt groening humor!! See more gwen s 12/20/2024 Olive has been a favorite since it came out, when my oldest was a toddler! The animation is quirky and cool, and the music is much better than Disney. The story is sweet; there is actually a plot, emotional content, and humor that does not come at someone else's expense. Perfect for neurospicy kids. It has Mondegreens! See more Picky P 01/03/2024 A really amazing aninated movie See more 12/15/2020 An endearing, if unambitious, Christmas special that has its cringier moments but is otherwise not a bad 45-minute adventure for the whole family. The intentionally wonky pop-up-book character designs coupled with the 3D backgrounds and smooth frame rate result in an art style that has aged incredibly well for a TV special in 1999. Apart from the style I approved of, the voice acting is really good, the songs are decent and the characters are simultaneously likable and memorable with a penguin voiced by Joe Pantoliano being the honourable mention. Olive, the Other Reindeer is an animated Christmas special that may not have the same staying power as the Grinch cartoon from the '60s but this sort-of 2D/3D hybrid is still an adorable little special that you won't mind having 45 minutes of your time taken by this all-ages Matt Groening entry.
