Trivia
Real deer were trained to pull the sleigh. The crew required months to complete the training which also allowed the deer to grow their antlers for the final filming. For shots where it was not possible to use the deer, sophisticated animatronic deer were used. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Dooley is reading aloud "Twas the Night Before Christmas," it's clear on close-ups that the large sheet of paper from which he is reading is a page from a modern newspaper and not some old parchment with the classic poem. See more »Quotes
