Highly Overrated But Still Good

Disappointment for a huge fan!

I have seen this movie with my siblings every christmas since we were young children, and i believe its the earliest christmas movie we ever saw, we never even saw the original puppet version, but this movie did introduce us to the classic song, and from there on we would always think about this movie every time the song played. As time has gone by i have found several flaws with the film. the beginning of the movie is completely cringe-worthy with the sprites and baby Rudolph, in fact you could skip past that, and it would not affect the story in any way, after that, there are a few more cringy moments but it decreases as the movie goes on. Next i just want to say, i have watched a lot of cartoon movies, and i have become accustomed to very well animated films that move very smoothly, this was the first year i noticed how poor the animation really is in this movie, its not terrible, in fact there are some moments where the animation looks really good, but other times especially with extras or supporting characters it does look cheap. Despite these flaws i eventually find myself enjoying the movie. the characters are really fun, Rudolph is a little generic nice guy, but i relate to him with his bullying, feeling different and unwanted( there are so many times when hes being bullied it takes me back to when i was bullied in school), Zoey,; Rudolph love interest is also generic, but is very sweet, in fact i find her and Rudolph's relationship very sweet. Slyly the arctic fox, is hilarious, i love his voice actor and his con man ways. John Goodman is a warm and gentle Santa who is very protective of everyone and is a memorable Santa. Whoopi Goldberg as the ice queen, is amazing, i loved every time she was on screen, her modern day jokes didn't bother me, and added to the films comedy. one of her lines goes like this, " Because of you reindeer, i can now unleash a terrible storm and ruin Christmas, take care of that in therapy", i love that! the movie is constantly trying to send messages to be honest, kind, and be yourself, and i enjoy that, there not always in your face, but they do take a large part in the plot. i love all the songs, especially show me the light a romantic duet between rudolph and zoey. I still really like this movie, despite it getting really childish for me, i still like to watch it every christmas.

Okay, yes, I'm rather young, but I still remember this movie quite well. When you are little, this movie is SO cute! I remember getting this film for Christmas on VHS and loving it. I still sit down and watch it around Christmas-time whenever my 6-year-old niece comes to visit.But I don't believe that it should be compared to the 1964 original Rudolph Rankin/Bass Special. There are some things that I like about this movie that I think make it cute, not great, but cute. It's not like it's supposed to be Academy Award material.I really enjoyed:-Santa: Santa is so friendly! He has that red scarf...and he sings a happy song while Rudolph hides in the snow. He roots for our red-nosed friend just like we do!-Slyly: I don't know,he's cheesy and silly, but hey! Live a little!-The Rudolph/Zoey Romance: To a little girl, the whole mistletoe scene is SO romantic and cute. It makes me blush... Then there's all the songs! -The Reindeer Games: They are a lot more elaborate. And the reindeer sit like regular people! (I think, I haven't watched this movie in a while...) Overall,I give this movie a 6/10 because I grew up with it during the holiday season, along with the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus is coming to town, etc.

This has to be the best Christmas movie I have ever seen! The movie not only made Rudolf a "Lady's Man," but it gave him a girlfriend as well! Zoey, Rudolf's girlfriend, is my favorite character. The movie is funny, romantic, scary, exciting, and all the above! It is great for the whole family to enjoy. I highly recommend it for kids and adults. Even teenagers like me can enjoy it. I am 19 and I love it! For people who like romantic/adventure movies, this is for you! If you ever see this movie in the stores (DVD or VHS), buy it. You are most definitely not waisting your time and money. The person who made this movie did a great job on the animation, sound, and story plot. LOL, some of the synchronization of the voices and the characters are a bit out of sync, but that makes it comical for me! If you look past the little errors, you will enjoy a great Christmas movie, I promise.

Young Rudolph suffers a childhood accident that sees his nose turn from the publicly accepted norm of black to a glowing red colour. His parents worry about him getting teased, and indeed he does in the end. When he is beaten in the reindeer games by his rival for a doe he fancies, Rudolph runs away and moves into a cave with Slyly the Fox. However can he overcome his fear and reach his true potential.With the aim of helping parents and relative to make Christmas easier to survive by keeping children happy, television will cram the schedules with kid's movies. However they forget that sometimes adults will end up having to watch them too. That was the case with this one, I ended up watching this and god but was it difficult to get through! The film is the only one I can think of where the plot is actually spoilt by the theme music, not that it matters very much as the plot is the one we all know with some little updates and additions (none of which really make any difference or improvement).To make matters a bit worse, the film is a musical but with really god awful songs all the way through it. This isn't help by the fact that the animation is basic and very much the stuff of Saturday morning cartoons - very bright and basic but with no evidence that the producers wanted anything in the way of imagination or personal touches to come near their product.With the list of names in the cast I had hoped for more. The cast list could easily be read off the new pixar film, as they are all reasonable names and have been in good comedies in the past. Goldberg, Goodman, Newhart, Simmons and Eric Idle all feature but none of them really add anything of their personalities to their roles.Overall this is one big waste of time. I'm not the most festive of people, but I imagine that even Santa would struggle to keep his Christmas spirit if he had to sit through 90 minutes of this film! Bah-humbug! Next year I'll go and buy them Elf on dvd!
