Summary: This is a worthy sequel
Review: I remember watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer when it first appeared on TV in 1964. They used stop-motion animation techniques. As a result, the movements of the characters were at times jerky and fuzzy. However, the storyline was great and it has become a classic over the years.Finally, after over 35 years, a sequel is made in which computer animation is used. The animation is just fine despite some of the previous reviews. Though it doesn't match the quality of Pixar, it certainly is better than many of the computer animated cartoons on TV, VHS and DVD. The show is far more colorful and detailed than the original. The story is good and fun. As for the Queen Hippo, she is there to let Rudolph learn something. But most importantly, it uses facts and characters from the original and does not make illogical storyline changes. It is a very worthy sequel. This DVD is worth owning. If you have small children, they will love it.

Summary: My Daughter loves it
Review: We just purchased this movie the other day and my daughter sat and watched the whole thing. She said she loved it. We gave her this one and Snowed in at the house of mouse as pre-christmas presents. I only gave this 4 stars because I gave house of mouse 5 stars and I think that is a better movie. My daughter loves them both.

Summary: Not Worth Renting or Buying
Review: I have the original Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer that was produced by Rakin-Bass. They did the puppet version which was cute, had a great story line and nice music. I watch it every Christmas. This movie which is a continuation is just terrible. I didn't like the story behind it and it lost my interest. It just didn't seem like it would be for little kids. It just lost something being computer generated. The only thing I liked about it was the Snowman. I also didn't like the idea of they had for one character wanting to change their looks. That is not what we want our children hear that if they don't like what they look like they can go somewhere to change it. They also had to many songs that were just corny. In my opinion stick with the original version of Rudolph by Rankin-Bass.

Summary: The Red Nose Shines Once Again!
Review: This sequel lacks the heart and the magic of the 1964 original. However, the animation is wonderful and the fact that the character's voices sound as if they come right out of the original make this a good addition to your Christmas Film Library. Recomended to children of all ages.

Summary: Misfit of a sequel
Review: I wasn't really thinking when I picked this movie up. For some reason, I had thought that I had seen it before. Within moments, I realized that was not the case.
Misfits is a totally computer generated animated movie that has no creativity. The writers borrowed heavily from the storyline of Toy Story 2 and spun their version at the sake of the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas special. Albeit, they put a really dark spin on it.
Enter the "Toy Taker" who steals every toy from all over the world, including Santa's toyshop. Who is this mysterious person and why has he done this? That's where Rudolph's continues.
Rudolph leaps to the lead this time because he still feels outcast by nearly everyone living at the North Pole. His problem now is he's being smothered by his new-found fame. The exceptions are his old friends--Hermey (who's now a dentist), Clarice (Rudolph's girlfriend), and Cornelius and Bumbles the abominable snow monster (both of whom operate a failing peppermint mine). Along the way, they pick up a few new friends.
They eventually corner the "Toy Taker" and discover he's a teddy bear who was thrown away by his owner after the owner grew up. Seeking his deranged justice, the teddy bear stole the toys so no other toy would have to share his fate. However, even deranged toys have hearts. So when Santa Claus explains the trashing of the teddy bear was all an accident, it's all forgive and forget and Christmas goes off without a hitch.
Even though I found the storyline totally unoriginal, it was good enough to capture my girlfriend's baby's attention for an hour or so. That was enough to convince me to give the show a second star to indicated it's not totally worthless, like its graphics are.
I noticed a lot of problems with the graphics and wondered what tools they used. I've seen much better animation generated by free piece-meal software from more than 7 years ago. Some of the most recognizeable problems were the blacking out of Cornelius' beard whenever he turned his head to the choppy effects of the rolling ocean.
Of the entire movie, the one thing I disliked the most was the decision to make Rudolph's shiny nose shine like a spot light into a concentrated area, such as a disco ball, instead of glowing.

Summary: No classic here!
Review: I always say that you're allowed an occasional bad DVD purchase, one that you might really regret after the fact. Well folks, this was it. Clever story? Nope. Quality animation? Seen better in hand-held video games. Do I recommend it? Not a chance. This was absolutely painful to watch. If I could've given it zero stars, I would've. Do not waste your time on this one!

Summary: My kids LOVE this movie!
Review: I'm alittle confused on some of the reviews for this movie. Some of the reviews were made before this movie was released and some are of the original Rudolph. Anyway, I was a little skeptical at first when I started to watch this "sequel" . I was sure I wasn't going to like it but to my surprise it was quite enjoyable. The computer animation looks great and you will find almost all the old characters in this movie except Sam. They tried to use voices that sounded like the original characters and they even have a couple catchy songs. My kids just love it. They have already watched it numerous times. They love seeing these familar faces in a new movie. I still prefer the original Rankin/Bass Rudolph but this is a very cute movie that all kids will enjoy.

Summary: This movie gets a bad rap...
Review: I don't see what everyone has against this movie, I think it's great, and it's actually my favorite of the "Christmas character" movies. I know it's not a "classic" feature, but I think that's the movie's strength. It's the only one I can think of that's not taken right from a Christmas song. The other's are a bit simplistic because they have to stick to the plot of the songs. This one is just fun for me, with some really fun characters. I like the whole misfit theme of these unloved toys and these people that just don't fit into the mold. I think it's a good children's movie that teaches them that it's okay to be different and to accept others that are different. It's just a fun adventure movie. I don't see it as an excuse to cash in on classic characters. It's something different for Christmas and a little bit weird, so if want something out of the norm you should check it out.

Summary: Hello, people?! they didn't have computer animation then!
Review: I like this cartoon because I have memories of the excitement of Christmas and it is a cute cartoon. Of COURSE it is cheesey! Most cartoons for Christmas are! They didn't have computer animation when this was made so don't compare it to movies from Pixar and such. This is a cute seasonal film from back in the day before Politically Correctness ruled. So don't be such a GRINCH!
