A long-forgotten Christmas classic!
10 February 2013
When I was a little child, I used to watch this a few times on video and I loved it for being such a charming stop-motion animated classic. The storyline is timeless and unforgettable with some of it's touching, funny, and intense moments that would make you feel scared, laugh, and cry your tears out.

The characters are likable as well. Rudolph is an adorable reindeer, Hermie is a charming elf (even his friendship with Rudolph is great), Yukon Cornelius is a funny (his dialog made me chuckle and steals every scene in this classic), and the other characters including the cute love interest for Rudolph are so lovable. Now, I did get scared at the Abominable Monster scenes, but when I became older, he didn't terrified me anymore. Oh, and I almost forgot about the snowman voiced by Burl Eves and he was a great narrator for the story. In fact, the voice acting for the main and minor lovable characters is by all means top notch.

The best parts however is the clay animation and the musical songs. The animation is brilliant with the look of the north pole and the character animation being solid. The songs including the touching "There's Always Tomorrow" are catchy with "Silver and Gold" "Holly Jolly Christmas" as the best songs.

Overall, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is a timeless classic that will be recommended to those who haven't seen it yet.
