Probably very few people notice, but Prancer and Dancer are actually twins. No, not identical, although there is a strong family resemblance.

With a little stage makeup and costuming, they can and did get away with being identical twins back when they used to do their act. Of course, this was hundreds of years ago when they toured as hoofers with Bob Hope's Holiday USO troupe, bringing seasonal entertainment to the front lines from Angincourt to the Battle of Hastings.

Unfortunately, during one Christmas show a hunter thought it was deer season and opened fire at the stage, bringing to a close any future with the touring show. Out of work, out of show biz, and out of luck, Prancer and Dancer were returning to their native homeland when they saw a recruitment sign announcing that the North Pole Village was looking for anyone with talents that could be used at Christmas.
