(Originally broadcast 12/13/02)

In the first special, ROBBIE THE REINDEER: HOOVES OF FIRE, Robbie must train to compete in the Reindeer Races against reindeer-gone-bad Blitzen to become a part of Santa’s sleigh team. Robbie (voiced by Ben Stiller) travels to Coldchester, the ski resort where the Reindeer Races are held, to try out for a position on Santa’s team. Blitzen (voiced by Hugh Grant), however, feels his position of captain on Santa’s team is threatened by the arrival of the new recruit and airs his insecurities to Prancer (voiced by Brad Garrett).

When Santa (voiced by Jim Belushi) throws a party to unveil his new sleigh, which features a sophisticated radar system designed by the conniving Blitzen, Robbie realizes he must work hard to win a place on Santa’s team. Assisting Robbie in his training is veteran coach Old Jingle (voiced by Jerry Stiller) and Donner (voiced by Britney Spears), who has a crush on Robbie. However, Robbie only has eyes for the vampish Vixen (voiced by Leah Remini). Also, Des Yeti (Dick Enberg) and Alan the Snowman (Dan Dierdorf) prepare to announce the action at the Reindeer Races. When Robbie’s day of competition arrives, a turn of events makes for interesting surprises for Robbie and the rest of the reindeer bunch.

In the second special, ROBBIE THE REINDEER: LEGEND OF THE LOST TRIBE, Robbie, with the help of an elusive tribe of Vikings, battles Blitzen in an effort to stop his nemesis’ launch of a reindeer theme park. Robbie and his reindeer friends, including Donner, Prancer, Old Jingle and Tapir (voiced by Jim Belushi), are all working hard in Santa’s North Pole Holidays Office; however, not all is cheery in the workplace since the reindeers’ attempts to make money have failed. Meanwhile, all of Robbie’s attentions have been focused on the tribe of Vikings (voiced by James Woods), which saved him from falling down the crevasse of a mountain.

Worries about the office’s success are cast aside by the re-appearance of Blitzen, who was recently released from prison for good behavior. Blitzen assures the other reindeer that he has “turned over a new antler” and is eager to help out. He suggests they open up a luxury hotel to turn new profits. But, soon Blitzen shows his true colors, using the luxury hotel as his “Reindeer World” theme park, with plans to use the reindeer gang as the robotic attractions. Robbie, Donner and Prancer search for the tribe of Vikings to help the rest of the reindeer escape the clutches of the evil Blitzen and his thugs. In their own unique way, the Vikings devise a plan to disguise themselves and save the reindeer, while Blitzen meets Robbie and Donner in a final confrontation.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
