Review: This is NOT a sequel to the classic RANKIN/BASS TV Special. It is a horrible attempt to make $ off of something that was created by talented people by untalented people.

Review: A Pick Hippo in a dress? This is THE NIGHTMARE ON THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS. I saw previews recently at a trade show and I couldn't believe it. One word decribes this BEST....HORRIBLE!

Review: ....The Rudolph special being sold here is definitely ... a "hipper, cooler" yet woefully inadequate sequel. To be fair, I haven't seen this 'movie' yet. However, based on the past dreck that GoodTimes Entertainment has slopped on the table (the feature-length Rudolph they produced was enough to make even the most clueless animation fan gag), I can't imagine that this offering could be any better. I suppose that their earlier Rudolph taught them a lesson which is why the appearance of the classic characters can be seen here. But computer animation? And a pink hippo? Haven't these execs learned anything?!? You want us to buy this garbage? Fine. Spend some time to craft a STORY that stands on its own and hire a good team of stop-motion animators to do some solid work. There's a reason that the 60's style specials are still so popular today, guys, and it's not because of whiz-bang special effects. Think about it. Sheesh.

Summary: Poor attempt to capitalize on proven masterpiece....
Review: It is sad to see such a family classic being pimped out this way in recent years. If you tell a story correctly there is nothing to merit a sequel, especially one that was slapped together using cheap computer animation techniques rather than the time tested Animagic process. You will only be adding to the growing cash pile of greedy executives if you buy this film, which will surely result in many more sequels to come. Where will it end? "Attack of the Rudolph Clones"? "The Rudolph franchise that wouldn't die"? Come on. If you want to see the TRUE Rudolph "Sequels" go buy "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" or "Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July", but leave this stinker alone.

Summary: Well enough alone
Review: I cannot believe that some level of management actually approved to spend money to produce this major but unnecessary project. Clearly a lot of effort went into making it but it is an overwrought and underwhelming gilding of the lily. The old one was fine, simple and charming. This one is complicated and frankly a bit stressful. This was more a platform for computer animation stunts than a childrens' Christmas flick.
I just ordered the original for my under 7 year old four kids for next year. This new version just went in the bin. Fortunately it was a great buy. But . . . you get what you pay for.

Summary: Rudolphthe red-nosed... You Would even say this movie BLOWS!
Review: If I could give this movie 0 stars I would. Why'd they change the animation? It's not Rudolph without the claymation( or whatever it was called). This CGI crud(the only nice word for it) is ruining our movies!!! The story has no physical depth or texture.. Rudolph isn't furry like he's supposed to be. And if this is supposed to be a sequel, why does Santa look completely different? This movie stinks!!!!!!!!! I'm only 13, but I know good movies(not this new junk they're trying to show us)

Summary: Buy the original - not this version!!!
Review: While I must admit at the outset that my children like this movie, I am somewhat appalled by it. And I don't think it's necessary to compare it to the Rudolph I grew up with in order to rank it poorly--nostalgia tends to color our opinions.What is obvious immediately is that this is, oddly enough, a vehicle for celebrities to lament their fame. Rudolph, once hating his unique glowing nose because it made him a misfit, gained acceptance because he saved Christmas with that oddity (really, a questionable moral for the first flick--you're only accepted if you can prove yourself worthy--compare with Thomas the Tank Engine's highest sought-after praise being that he's useful). Now Rudolph is famous and can't go anywhere without be asked to shine his attribute. It's all the other residents of the north pole care about. Poor Rudolph, if only he was just plain normal. (Hermie, at least, has discovered his bliss as a dentist--a rather plain profession where no one stalks you and asks you to show them your skills at root canal.) Anyway, the rest of the movie plays on this theme throughout. The low-light of the movie, and surely, after some distance, of this actress's career, is when Jamie Lee Curtis, playing a hippo Queen who is a plastic surgeon, sings about her ability to make everyone beautiful through her artistic abilities with the scalpel. She sure can give Rudolph the nose he wants! Now that Miss Curtis has come out against just this kind of thing and advocates aging without anxiety and without surgery--and wants to encourage young women to believe in their inner beauty (older women too!) rather than needing to "fix" what the society that is fashion magazines and Hollywood see as "flaws", she must want this one to get lost in a dust bin. It's where I'd like to put our copy.
