Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDAI was looking forward to seeing this. This was a feature film based on the beloved Christmas Song. However I thought they were going to use some of the charterers from the television classic but no. This unfortunately is not related to that animated special. What this is is a retelling of the song, I can't call this a remake but another version of the story of Rudolph. Now this film has a great voice cast. However it also too many "NEW SONGS" that are terrible. If someone performed them on "The Gong Show" they get a "GONG".This cartoon might be better if you never have seen the Rankin Bass version. However most of us have and this version just isn't very good. The film begins in Santa's Village where the Sprites of the Northern Lights perform a light show in the sky which makes Santa and his wife Mrs. Claus wonder what the occasion is (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer).The Sprites then arrive at the home of one of Santa's reindeer Blitzen and his wife Mitzi, who have just become parents to a newborn buck whom they name Rudolph. Rudolph gets to his feet and does his first steps, but trips and tumbles into a haybale. Blitzen and Mitzi rush over to see if their son is okay. Rudolph emerges from the haybale unharmed, but when upon letting out a sneeze, his nose lights up red, to the shock of his parents.The next day, Blitzen and Mitzi take Rudolph a tour of Santa's Village where they meet with Blitzen's three brothers and fellow Flyers Comet, Cupid and Dasher. At first Blitzen tries to hide Rudolph from them (worried at what they'll think of his nose), but Mitzi makes him stop. Cupid playfully tickles Rudolph and causes his nose to light up again, in front of the rest of the villagers to which Blitzen tells them that Rudolph has allergies before leading his son away. Blitzen along with Mitzi, hope that others will overlook Rudolph's nose and grow to accept it and he will become a Flyer, but leave after the villagers laugh at Rudolph (What About His Nose).Meanwhile, two elves named Boone and Doggle are delivering mail to Santa with hopes they will be promoted to the factory floor. However when crossing the ice bridge of the ice queen Stormella, Boone loses control of the mail sled and along with Doggle crash into Stormella's ice garden, destroying her statues. The two elves quickly leave, but Doggle accidentally leaves his hat behind in the wreck.Now this isn't a bad movie its just "OKAY" when you compare it to the other Rudolph Animated Special

meshjoy In my eyes, this movie is nothing but a way to scam parents out of their money. I saw little effort put into this film. Now, before I get into the negatives, let me point out the few positives.I wasn't too fond of most of the cast choices, except for two. One was John Goodman as Santa Claus. His voice suited the role perfectly. It sounded so friendly, yet had that powerful, booming tone. The other is Kathleen Barr as Rudolph. Her sort of nasally voice suits Rudolph.I like the idea of the sprites. It adds a little originality to the story. Unfortunately, not much was really done with them, and they came off as annoying. Now to the negatives. First, the animation. The colors and designs were nice, but the animation itself was very awkward. Everything moved in such a weird, clunky way. I was uncomfortable watching it.The songs were dreadful. Some were obviously just filler so the movie would last longer. What was funny was that some of the singing voices didn't even sound close to the speaking voices of some characters. The songs also just came up out of nowhere.The characters were very mean spirited. I mean, I understand that Rudolph is supposed to be made fun of, but the way the others mock him for his nose just doesn't seem natural, and they're a little too cruel. Not only are some of them very mean, but some are also very stupid. And by some, I mean Zoey. First of all, why is she dating Arrow? They made it clear that she liked Rudolph more, so what did she see in Arrow? Second, Stormella made it clear that she would cause a huge storm if anyone crossed her bridge. Who crossed? Zoey. Also, some characters are just plain useless, like the sprites, Slyly, and Leonard. If people shut off their brains during this movie, I think they'd enjoy it. But as a student majoring in animation, I try to pay attention to the details. I don't really like this movie, and feel like it's pretty pointless. This was just a way to grab cash from parents, and that's it. I saw little effort put into this, and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

alex-caruso1 I have to say, this was good. Not great or excellent, but average-good. Nothing will ever beat the original 1964 Rudolph, but this remake almost did. This remake took everything from the original, and tried to twist into the 90's version of Rudolph. The plot was great, the whole story had a goal to achieve, you knew what the characters were trying to accomplish, everything just had a good purpose that gave this remake a solid flow to it. The songs were amazing. You won't remember them like the one's from the 1964 Rudolph, but the songs used in this remake are just as unforgettable in my opinion. Every other scene has you wondering were the story will take you next, and the climax toward the end will actually give you that feeling whether it's gonna be a happy or bad ending. Overall, this is absolutely worth seeing, and a great remake to the classic 1964 Rudolph.

jesuit25 Strangely, I found this movie quite good. It fills you with a sense of Christmas and there's nothing wrong with sitting down and watching this before you open your presents. A nice little kids movie which appealed to me quite a bit. This year I was feeling a bit bah humbug, but this warmed my heart. The plot is good, sticking to the original idea while skewing away in places, but it remains a nice honest film which everyone can watch. The acting is above average IMO, and Leonard the Bear is my favourite character. A story of the underdog rising up is always great, and this delivers just like it's predessor. Especially fitting for a nice Christmas Day morning. There were some questions left unanswered, however, such as how do the reindeer's fly? But all in all, this is a worthy Christmas tale, telling a story about everyone's favourite reindeer. It is just a shame that this will forever be compared with the original. This is the way great films are ignored and this movie is getting bad feedback because 'it does not live up to the original'. This film is still great, however little can see it's potential. Sad.
