Rating: Summary: The Sound track is a disgrace, SONY do it over! Review: I really looked forward to replacing my VHS from Family Home Entertainment with a quality DVD. What a surprise when the SOUNDTRACK warbled and dragged! It is unbelievable that such a classic would be released with so little respect for the beautiful songs and voices, now garbled. It is unlistenable!This is such a classic that it would easily be worth reissueing with an improved soundtrack. Please do it over! (While your at it, get the frosty the snowman series on to DVD too.)
Rating: Summary: All-Time Favorate Review: One of the best Christmas stories for kids. I grew up watching this, now I am passing the tradition to my daughter. She kept her eyes glued to the screen. And, I still like watching it, too. Must be the kid in me coming out at Christmas.
Rating: Summary: Rudolf Review: This is a good family movie, I've enjoyed it for years. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a good wholesome movie.
Rating: Summary: A delightful story for kids from 3 to 103! Review: I've always loved Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, and ever since I was young, this classic tale has been part of my Christmas season. In a age where Christmas specials can be rather corny and silly, geared only for a specific group of viewers of a particular age range, this tale is timeless, and can be enjoyed by everyone! After nearly 20 years, I still laugh at the jokes, and sing along with Sam the Snowman. It's a delightful tale of individuality, growing up, and responsibility (all that in a 60 minute Christmas show!) that tells kids to follow their own path and never give up. Plus, the animation is wonderful and the characters are all adorable - even the Bumble! - Yet I never knew why the little doll was a misfit. This is a wonderful story for all children to watch, and anyone who grew up with it will feel like they're 8 again when they see it. A must-have!
Rating: Summary: Mixed bag of delights Review: I was with great anticapation that I opened my DVD copy of Rudolph hoping that here at last would be a beautiful restorded version of a truly wonderful Christmas classic. I was immediately impressed by the video - vibrent color - clean sharp images, a wonder to behold - then came the let down THE SOUNDTRACK - How could this be? How could so much work be done on the video end and none on the soundtrack. The soundtrack was almost painful to listen to at times. During many of the songs the fluxuations in pitch and general wobbel of the musical accompaniment made me grimace and want to cover my ears. How could this be released like this? On the plus side we get to see Rudolph in it original form - Elf Orchestra during "We Are Santa's Elves" - the orignal reprise of "We're a couple of Misfits" ( replacing the shorter "Fame and Fortune" - it would have been nice to have this as a bonus track added as an extra) plus extra seconds of the show that you never see anymore pop up unexpectedly and fill you with delight. All of these addition and the beautiful look of the video make it all the more disappointing to watch. PLEASE, PLEASE go back and fix the soundtrack, this is one of the best holiday show ever made, a television treasure and deserves better treatment then it received on DVD - millions will thank you if you do.
Rating: Summary: The Most Wonderful Christmas Show of the Season Review: I LOVE Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Fun for the entire family, great songs, and a great lesson - never judge by the color of one's nose because everyone has a place, even misfits! I'm 24 and in law school, but I still love it!
Rating: Summary: Theres no better way to celbrate the holidays! Review: What a better way to celebrate the holidays. Your holiday is just not complete without this, your whole family will enjoy it. This is a personal favorite of mine. The acting is great and the music is excellent. A must have.
Rating: Summary: Visually great, Soundtrack Problems Review: First of all, let me say that this is my favorite TV special of all time and this DVD is visually excellent and clear, however, there's seems to be something wrong with the music soundtrack. On several songs, it sounds as though someone is messing with the Pitch control for the music, making it sometimes unbearable to listen to. This is especially apparent during "There's always Tomorrow." It sounds so off key in spots, you want to cover your ears. I hope Sony realizes this defect and reissues it with a fixed soundtrack. Until then, I guess I still have to watch the VHS version. I was looking so forward to getting this on DVD and was extremely disappointed by it. Guess I should ask for my money back, but it does look great.
Rating: Summary: Making Christmases Brighter Since 1964. Review: For over three decades, this timeless holiday classic has delighted millions of kids and adults alike. "Rudolph" offers wonderful stop-motion animation, unforgettable songs, and a story sure to warm any heart -- even a Bumble's! This is family entertainment at its finest! What a treat to have it on DVD!
