 | This movie looks very retarded and I agree with the people who gave it two stars. I love rudolph and am very unhappy about this production. |

| Once upon a time, there was a small, little-known stop-motion animation sudio- Rankin/Bass Pictures. With the help of General Motors, their first movie, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" was released on television in December 1964. It was an instant hit. But, with all classics come cheap remakes.........

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - The Movie"
----------------------------------------------------
Summary: Rudolph is the son of Blitzen, one of Santa Claus' sleigh reindeer. He's adorable (well....not really...), but has an appalling red lightbulb for a nose. Soon, however, it is put to good use, as Rudolph saves his girlfriend and Christmas.
Review: In all movies featuring reindeer, the filmakers deem it nessisary to stick a big poof of human hair between their antlers. This cuteness-enhancing feature looks plain dumb and annoyed me for the whole movie. Anyway, the animation looks like the Looney Toons, the story's been cut and pasted into a stupid mess, the characters are all unappealing (especially the four fairies who semi-narrate) and worst of all, the characters break out in obnoxious song every ten minutes. In short, the only people who will enjoy this film are kids under the age of 6. Get the Rankin/Bass original or the cute sequel, "Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys" instead.

| I and my children really enjoyed this version of rudolph. Interestingly enough, this was the first version my children saw before the original Rudolph of so many years ago. What's wrong with a different twist almost 40 years later. Is the world suppose to stop back in 1964. Don't get me wrong I love the original Rudolph. I'm not particular to the follow up movies to it, but the original was a classic.
But this isn't the movie nor would I want it to be. This is a fresh take a new look, a new feel, and most of all just fun.
It has good messages to it and while sure I prefer my girls to see stuff like everafter and ella, there is also a place for the damsel to need saving, why because she is still strong willed, but admit it most women want to be a damsel in distress from time to time, whether its a mouse, a spider, or something more substantial. Come on its how rudolph shows he cares and is willing to go through anything for love.
now with all that said. This film is in its own right a classic, but it never got a chance to really shine because to many people compare it to something 40 years ago. Its the same fate that the new superman movie will befall, especially after reeve's death, and that is it will be forever compared to the original, no matter how good it is. All the actors who played bond after Connery have always been compared to Connery.
I just feel its sort of sad to see such an excellent film such as this be pushed to the wayside because it doesn't measure up to something it was never intended to be. |

| Nothing can compare to the original 1964 stop motion animation Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Nothing. This movie was just "really bad" to say the least. |

| This looks stupid, as I'm no kid of 3. I gave it a 2nd star only because Eric Idle is one of the voices. I could care less about the other actors. |
