[@ExplorerDS6789]

Here's how I would have fixed a few things in this special: 1. Not make it. 2. If I HAD to, I'd change the following (for starters): instead of Elf Dentist Academy, have Hermey be the only elf in attendance at some polar dentist school. That would make more sense. Also, when the Head Elf confronts him later, have him say, "so, how's the dentist profession?" and Hermey says, "wonderful, couldn't be better." "Y'know, we sure miss you 'round the toy shop." "You do?" "yes, 'cause you left my staff an elf short!" Hermey: "That reminds me, you missed your last appointment." Head Elf: "I was busy!"

[@gothnerd887]

I have an idea to make Hermy go to a famous dental college in London.

Or he could’ve gotten an apprenticeship with the tooth fairy because Santa pulled a few favors.

[@Account_Not_Applicable]

What irks me most about this is Rick Moranis rarely takes roles anymore since the 90s. This is due to his wife dying and wanting to focus on taking care of their kids. While that is wonderful of him to do, when deciding to take on one of a few Voice roles, he went with the crap sequel to a classic special. Then again, I feel bad for every talent in this, all are too good for this

Phelous woke up the night before Christmas, hearing a noise downstairs. He would run down to the living-room with the fireplace and Christmas tree, peering around the corner, seeing a fat old man coming down the chimney. And with bated breath and childlike wonder he heard the man say "The chimney was open, so I must be invited. Looks like I was expected. Ooh, delicious presents!" And it was the best Christmas ever. Fantastic review, man. These are fricking ace. And as a 3D modeller myself, my GOD! Even for 2001. This would be passable on a budget PS2 game by Phoenix. But comes off as so cynical as a sequel to a loved children's classic.

Actually, as I understand it, part of the reason Rankin Bass “de-aged” Rudolph between specials, had to do with the fact that the original puppets from the very first Rudolph specials were all stolen between productions.

Honestly, I really want a Rudolph sequel that has a similar premise to this. It's been several years since Rudolph did the thing in the first movie and now he's famous... but with that fame comes people constantly badgering him to give autographs and do tricks with his nose. He eventually gets sick of their crap and takes off with Hermie (who is now a semi-famous dentist who has to suffer through "elf practice" barbs every day) to the island of the toys once more. They actually don't end up going back because they end up realizing that the only reason the citizens of their former location want them back is because they want to exploit the fame that the two were brought. It's a valuable lesson about how even though being famous sounds like fun and games, there's a darker side that you need to consider.

And since the test audience was young Barbara May, the author's daughter, and she loved those deer, they made him into a Whitetail. Today the zoo has the nigh-extinct Pere David's Deer or Milu. If she had been a fan of the Field Museum instead they would have gotten it right.

@@Tareltonlives Also the Rankin-Bass special was animated in Japan, and the only native deer there is the Sika Deer, so they used that species for reference.

OMG... I have this movie somewhere in my house. I used to watch it ALL the time. Dang, it looked so much better in my memories.

[@ruggiebuggie3195]

It's funny that stop motion from 50 plus years ago ages better than most CGI from anywhere over fifteen years ago.

[@Robofrog100]

you might not believe me but this was my rudolph growing up. every christmas the dvd would go on, and i loved it

[@MrLuciusrm]

The clarice and Rudolph “the will/they Wont” plot was thrilling almost as the Rachel and Ross one

[@rorylumley4727]

i find you extremely funny and unquie one of my favorite internet reviewers keep up the good work

[@geekychannel2543]

I actually remember this movie. My parents got confused by the title and bought this because it was all that was available.

[@1000huzzahs]

Your Good Times reviews are definitely my favorite.

[@themegagamesgamer]

God. The life choices I made as a kid to watch this. The first time I watched this review, I totally forgot about The Dental Academy flashback. My jaw dropped.

OH MY GOD YES! My little brother had this movie as a kid and used to watch it over and over and I CAN STILL REMEMBER ALL THE SONGS! You bashing this thing around is a dream come true for me, Phelous. It's a kwismiss miwicle.

[@deityofchaosandkindness]

I loved this when I was younger! I watched it every Christmas! I actually still own this...

[@maxordman4100]

The 3-d animation looks so weird. I agree that the Boomerang that doesn’t come back is actually sort of funny! That’s probably the best joke in the whole movie! This whole thing totally looks like a fever dream! Love your incredible reviews!

[@thebeggs4]

That "We're on the Island of Misfit Toys" song...just, wow. It's like they were going for their own "Merry Old Land of Oz", but instead of whimsically setting the scene and advancing the plot a little through song, they settled for repeating where they are over and over again, while hoping that'll have the same effect.

[@Potaogirl-qm3ys]

Fun fact: The original airing of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer didn’t have the scene where Santa picked up the Misfit Toys and was only added in reairings and home video releases. Good job jolly old Saint Prick

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

You know, I just wondered why this film is subtitled "And the Island of Misfit Toys"? Rudolph and friends already visited that island in the original Rankin/Bass film, and in this film, it's only the central focus of one act. Wouldn't "and the Toy Taker" make more sense, considering that's the film's main antagonist who has presence in all acts?

[@philipphalter926]

that was in fact the german title

[@CaptainSpiffari]

When I first started watching your reviews, I first heard Shredder's "I hate music" rap in this review around 4:00, and I thought he was saying "It aint music!". I'm guessing Shredder thinks rap isn't real music, and that's why he had a rap number about how he hated music.

[@themegagamesgamer]

I have this movie recorded on VHS somewhere in my house and watched it during Christmas when I was like 4-7 years old. I can't believe I forgot about this. Thanks for the review Phelous!

[@imasaiyancayla]

i rented the dvd for this from blockbuster video once. and i rewatched it on a pirate website weeks ago. why did i rewatch it, you may ask? even during this self-quarantine, i felt nostalgic about things like this.

The creepiness of claymation meets the horrors of cheap,texture-less CGImation. Ever since the days of PSX's first fmvs I felt the warmth of those dead eyes!

[@AmishParadise27]

While this movie is bad, I don't think it's horrendous. I mean the ending with the girl and the teddy bear was pretty sweet, and The Toy Taker is a pretty sympathetic bad guy played well by Rick Moranis.

[@llshinda9508]

I'm german and my parents got me this "sequel" when I was a kid because I used to love the "first one". I remember being so appalled by the animation that I refused to believe the whole movie was gonna look like this up until the end credits finally rolled.

[@trentonnewman9683]

I actually had this on dvd, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it, although I do recognize it is terrible looking back

[@RaphBlade7]

Gotta admit, Goodtimes Entertainment must have really liked Rudolph to make not only their own version but also managed to somehow get ahold of the rights to make a sequel to the iconic RANKIN BASS version! Also, props to Scott McNeil for his voice work as he nails the voices of Yukon Cornelius & Hermie! I'd also like to note Kathleen Barr voiced Rudolph in both versions of Rudolph as she voices Rudolph in this one along with Goodtimes theatrical Rudolph movie! It's definitely an interesting bit of history and kinda makes me wonder if they assumed their theatrical film bombed because it wasn't based upon the more iconic Rankin Bass version, hence them making a sequel to the original in the hopes of making bank on the Rankin Bass Rudolph IP! Seems to me they might have gone out of business due to effort & money they must have spent securing the rights to utilize said IP & the money they lost cause the theatrical Rudolph bombed! Still, they got decent voice actors (along with a few big name stars), which is definitely something Goodtimes understood, which could at least pick up some of the slack caused by their somewhat cheap animation! Well, at least they gave us OLD MAN & a follow up to Rankin Bass Rudolph, which actually includes characters from the original special that aren't Rudolph himself or Santa (while Mrs. Claus does appear in some of the other Rankin Bass follow up specials, she has a different design (but then again so does Santa), which is kinda funny to think that Goodtimes got something right that Rankin Bass themselves actually failed to do! However, they still managed to mess it up by getting Rudolph & Clarice's ages wrong (however, I like to think that that may be some sort of magical aspect of them being Christmas Reindeer, like Santa & his wife's immortality, Rudolph's nose, & the Reindeer's ability to fly), though then again the Rankin Bass sequels got that wrong too! Also, at least this film confirms Hermey's bad habit of not amnestizing his patients!
