Summary: A True Classic! A Must Own!
Review: If there was ever a show on T.V. that could put people in the mood for Christmas, it was this one! Burl Ives narrates this timeless holiday classic story of Rudolph.The animations on the Abominal Snow Monster and the rest of the characters is wonderful considering the technology at the time. This DVD version is restored beautifully and the best part... there are no commercials! Even if you have seen this many times, I highly recommend this to be added to your collection! WHHHAAA WHHOOOO!

Summary: Timeless Classic
Review: Rudolph is a timeless classic. Every year around Christmas I watch this movie. It never gets boring and is still great for people of all ages. The movie has good morals for the kids and illustrates the idea I think that if everyone works together we can make great things happen with a little love. Everyone has differences and sometimes feels like Rudolph in the movie, which is great because it's one time when people can unite over a similiarity. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone of any age :)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Movie is 5 stars DVD is 3
Review: WOW this is a DVD?!?
The show is as it was in the TV release and the extras do bring it to the modern day but I think they (Sony Wonder/Golden Books) could have packed all the shows on One DVD instead of making you buy 3 of them... Look to Warmer Bros. Year w/o Santa Claus...
Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Frosty could have made it all in this DVD... Well I got it in the collection and saved some over buying them one at a time...
Enjoy the show and worry where the popcorn money will come from later...

Summary: Want to feel like a kid, again? Watch Rudolph!
Review: I was 12 years old when Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had its premiere, and there have only been a few instances where I've missed the annual showing of this holiday classic. The DVD version I purchased--which incorporated several edited sections, as well as a "variant" song--literally brought tears to my eyes. Not only was the print pristine in every way, I hadn't realized just how heavily edited Rudolph had become! To see it in its original form is a real treat--and I highly recommend purchasing this remarkable DVD to anyone who appreciates Christmas nostalgia. Why wait till the Yuletide season? With this gorgeous DVD, it can snow year-round!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a christmas for the 1960's
Review: Filmation took a seemingly benign tale and infused the politics of the time (the women reindeer are assumed to need protection) with the foreshadowing of social change to come. I have seen this movie several times, and I would reccomend people sit down with their children and watch this movie together.

In the opening minutes, we learn Rudolph is different from other reindeer because of his nose (general physical disability)and feels like an outcast because the other reindeer shun him and think he is weird. Throughout my years in public school, I could completely relate to this character.

The island of Misfit toys contains some Toys that were misnamed but otherwise okay (The Charlie in the box), however the real political symbolism comes when we see the cho-choo with square wheels (he cannot walk), the spotted elephant (skin pigment problems) and the doll that cannot cry (gland problems), because this was produced during the time when conventional medical knowlledge reccomended the instutionalization of mildly disabled children on the grounds that they would be protected from harsh judgement, although they were still stigmatized because society knew they had some kind of physical disability/condition, or otherwise they would not have been separated to begin with.

As a person with a disability, I am very concious of this part of the film, and remain amazed how fast progress reversed this trend. While the film does suggest that eventually the different will find someone who loves them for who they are, it is also hinted that it is an impossiblity that would require a major miracle. Although the toys are presumed to not be as interesting or as 'toy smart' as the others, they indeed prove that people with disabilities are not without intellengence or skills.

Unlike Hermes, whose outcast status occurs because of a job occupation, the misfit toys and Rudolph did not have a choice if they wanted to be different. While it was never formally adressed in the film, we do not learn if they were made that way, or something happened in the transportation of already made toys that caused the difference.

Eitherway, this film provides a wonderful (if unintentional) tribute to diversity of ability, and is a nice break from the tradditional tendency to steer clear of anything too upity at this time of year.

Summary: Who needs it to be christmas to watch this flick!
Review: I was floored that day in Virgin Megastore when I spotted this DVD! I let out the biggest yell that everyone in the store just stared at me. This film takes me back to my childhood i await it every year with baited breath for the special to come on around christmas time just to hear one single song! When that damn little elf breaks into that "Misfit" song I just get all warm inside! It's the pefect example of every kids childhood and at one time or another everybody feels out of place! But the film has a lot going for it besides the amazing soundtrack it has Burl Ives! His warm, deep father like voice is just so comforting to hear! The jokes seem even more funnier as I have gotten older and alot more crass than when you were little this film has to be owned by everyone who thinks back to being a kid and loving christmas time. I was never a huge fan of Christmas day but the feeling of the holiday! The smells and colors around the house were just amazing and this film captures taht magic each and everytime I watch it-even when it's 80 degrees outside!

Rating: 5 stars
