Product Information

Women Are Wiser: She does not discriminate against Rudolph nor him for his nose unlike her husband, who clearly drives discrimination to the ground. When Rudolph questions why he would want to steal toys, Mr. Cuddles corrects him that he only wanted to save them from being forgotten by their owners. He tells them the story of how his owner forgot him, but Santa assures that Steven still remembers him. Mr. Cuddles apologizes for his actions, and returned all of the toys he had stolen, redeeming himself. He is repaired by Queen Camilla, and is delivered to Steven's daughter by Santa. She wakes to see him and hugs Mr. Cuddles when Steven, now a fully grown adult, looks down to see him.

Anti-Villain: While it was indeed wrong of him to kidnap toys from their owners and steal Santa's entire supply of gifts, he has a rather sympathetic, if misguided, motive for doing so. Abusive Parents: Donner's treatment of Rudolph due to his glowing red nose is emotionally abusive. Although when the creators were growing up and when the movie was released, it wasn't intended to come off that way and was meant to be a typical father-son relationship. Men being hard on their sons was considered the norm in the 1960s, whether it was fair or not. However, he does owe up to what a jerk he was and he's the first person to set out in search of him.Michael Fry and T. Lewis have given Rudolph another brother in a series of Over the Hedge comic strips: an overweight, emotionally damaged reindeer named Ralph, the Infra-Red nosed Reindeer, who is referred to as Rudolph's older brother. Ralph's red nose is good for defrosting Santa's sleigh and warming up toast and waffles; he enviously complains about his brother Rudolph's publicity and his own anonymity. Demoted to Extra: In The Island of Misfit Toys, he only has a few scenes relating to his toothache, and one, non-speaking scene where Rudolph asks for his help in baiting a trap for the Toy Taker.

In the TV film Once Upon a Christmas (2000), Rudolph makes an appearance when Kathy Ireland's character, Kristin, goes on a sleigh ride with Rudolph leading it. Kristin's sister, Rudolpha, is also mentioned to be named after Rudolph. Perhaps the most well-known version of all the Rudolph adaptations is New York-based Rankin/Bass Productions' Christmas television special in 1964. [33] Filmed in stop-motion "Animagic" at Tadahito Mochinaga's MOM Productions in Tokyo, Japan, with the screenplay written by Romeo Muller and all sound recordings (with supervision by Bernard Cowan) done at the RCA studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the show premiered on NBC. As the producers of the special, Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass, only had the song as source material and did not have a copy of the original book, they interpolated an original story around the central narrative of the song, one that differed from the book. This re-telling chronicles Rudolph's social rejection among his peers and his decision to run away from home. Rudolph is accompanied by a similarly outcast elf named Hermey, who skipped elf practice to become a dentist, along with a loud, boisterous, eager prospector named Yukon Cornelius who was in search of wealth. Additional original characters include Rudolph's love interest, Clarice; the antagonistic "Abominable Snow Monster of the North"; and, as narrator, Sam the living Snowman, voiced by Burl Ives. Cursed with Awesome: His glowing nose makes him an outcast, but it soon proves to have its uses. Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas In July explains that Lady Boreal endowed his nose with magic to make it shine as a defense against the evil Winterbolt, and that its power lasts only as long as Rudolph uses his gift for good.In the Rankin-Bass special, Santa is saddened after an elf notifies him that he won't be able to make his annual Christmas Eve journey and almost cancels Christmas for that year. Suddenly Rudolph's red nose begins shining bright, causing Santa to tell him to please dim it down before suddenly being amazed by the brightness and politely asking him to join his reindeer team.
