Robbie the Reindeer

Robbie the Reindeer “Hooves of Fire”

  1. Overview
  2. Awards
  3. Fact Sheet

Forget those saccharine-sweet children's stories of Father Christmas and his trusty reindeer. Hooves of fire tells it like it is for lazy, laid-back Robbie who gets sent to the North Pole to compete for the navigator's place on Santa's sleigh team. Pain, passion, drama, dope-testing, testosterone and true love – this action-packed comedy adventure has them all.
