Robbie the Reindeer (2002) Legend of the Lost Tribe

Bekkah:

This was fun! I had no idea what we were getting into with this seemingly-winter-themed thing, but like,I enjoyed this subversively dark stop motion joint about evil reindeer, not evil reindeer, evil bunnies, and vikings? I know that I’m just comparing this to last week’s travesty, but I think I genuinely enjoyed watching this nonsense. Jeff was an evil bunny with many faces. I appreciated that in this British show, it was the lone American who was evil (there were also evil Brits) and the Vikings saved the day. No Deep Vs (I mean, almost no clothes), but the lady reindeer (and foxes and… koalas?) had scientifically inaccurate tiddies. The animation in this was also great. In summary, Brits are weird and this was definitely a strange one, but I’m feeling satisfied!

Robbie on IMDB

Robbie and the reindeer have a tourist business offering guided tours. On a tour gone wrong, Robbie is saved by a lost tribe of Vikings. No one believes it. They are more concerned about poor business. Evil Blitzen released from prison.

Some time has passed since the race in "Robbie The Reindeer" and the group of reindeers have set up a tourist business offering guided tours. When an accident occurs on one such tour Robbie believes he was saved by a long lost tribe of Vikings - supposed to have been wiped out years ago. No one believes him and they are more concerned with the business losing money. When the evil Blitzen is released from prison 50 years early he promises to help them turn things around but double crosses them with the help of a master of disguise rabbit. Robbie escapes and goes to the Viking tribe to help him and his friends overcome Blitzen.
