Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964 TV)
Rudolph, the little reindeer with the bright red nose, gets jeered at by the other reindeer (even his father tries to get him to hide his "disability") so he runs away with another misfit -- Hermey, the youthful elf who really wants to be a dentist. They hook up with the prospector Yukon Cornelius, travel to the Island of Misfit Toys, and meet the terrifying Abominable Snowman . . . but all turns out well. Burl Ives narrates as Sam the Snowman, and sings several of the songs, including "Silver and Gold," "Holly Jolly Christmas," and the famous carol that inspired this story.
--David Loftus, Resident Scholar
