This classic 1964 television special featuring Rudolph and his misfit buddies set the standard for stop-motion animation for an entire generation before Tim Burton darkly reinvented it in the early 1990s. Burl Ives narrates as Sam the Snowman, telling and singing the story of a rejected reindeer who overcomes prejudice and saves Christmas one particularly blustery year. Along the way, he meets an abundance of unforgettable characters: his dentally obsessed elf pal Hermey; the affable miner Yukon Cornelius and his motley crew of puppies; the scary/adorable Abominable Snow Monster; a legion of abandoned, but still chatty, toys; and a rather grouchy Santa. In addition to the title song that inspired it, this 53-minute tape is crammed with catchy tunes such as "Silver and Gold" and "Holly Jolly Christmas." Those who grew up looking forward to watching Rudolph every Christmas season will undoubtedly be able to recite the quotable quotes ("I'm cuuuute. She said I'm cuuuute." "Herbie doesn't like to make toys.") as well as any Casablanca cult audience. --Kimberly Heinrichs

RUDOLPH IS THE BEST
THERE IS ONLY ONE RUDOLPH AND RANKIN & BASS HAVE DONE A SUPERB JOB CAPTURING THIS GREAT STORY. A MUST SEE YEAR AFTER YEAR

No more waiting!
Our kids love this cartoon and seeing it once every Christmas on television is not enough. I had an old vhs copy that was grainy (getting old and flickering). It was time to just get the DVD to have on hand. Now our 5-year-old wants to see it anytime of year, but both she and our 8-year-old will enjoy it every Christmas, certainly more than once. It's a part of our Christmas movie collection.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
My grandsons, 3 & 4 years old, loved this movie. Burl Ives has this wonderful gravelly talking voice and a sonorous singing voice that made the movie interesting. The animation is old-fashioned for today but the kids didn't mind and the abominable snowman was not too scary.
