A double bill of festive animated films. In 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - The movie' Rudolph is a reindeer who is ridiculed because of his bright red nose. He runs away to the North Pole, where he is befriended by Slyly the Fox (voiced by Eric Idle) and Leonard the polar bear (Bob Newhart). However, when young doe Zoey is kidnapped by evil ice queen Stormella (Whoopi Goldberg), Rudolph teams up with Santa (John Goodman) to come to her rescue. Whilst in the sequel 'Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys' Rudolph, still the reindeer with the rosiest nose, is happy with life at the North Pole until the intrusion of the Toy Taker. This thief uses a special flute to lure the toys away from Santa and, not stopping there, now he wants to steal from the Island of Misfit Toys! Santa must enlist the help of Rudolph and his chums to retrieve the toys in time for Christmas. The theme song 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' is sung by evergreen crooner Tony Bennett.

Dreadful
I thought this was dreadful. I collect Christmas film & TV and will gladly watch anything associated with the season. However, this was poor. The animation was awful and there was no soul to the film. Upon seeing the names of Richard Dreyfus, Rick Moranis and Jamie Lee Curtis I was expecting so much more.I watched the definitive 1964 claymation version the previous night and that was in a different league. Definately buy that one instead - you'll waste your money if you buy this!
