The Animation is okay for its time, but there are parts that look very dodgy and slow. I can understand, since it's stop-motion and it has limits and that's the problem. It would have been better as an 2D animated special.
The main reason why I hate this Special, so much is the characters are so mean spirited (which is ironic, since they live in Christmas Town).
We've got Donner (Rudolph's Father) is totally embarrassed and ashamed to call Rudolph his son and is a sexist pig to his wife, Mrs Claus wants her husband fat, the Elves call Hermey a misfit for wanting to be a dentist, the Boss Elf is nasty, Fireball rejects Rudolph's friendship after discovering his red nose, Coach Comet kicks Rudolph off the team, and worst of all...
Santa Claus is such a douche bag. He's rude, grumpy and has no interest in Christmas at all. He was even nasty to Rudolph as well.
I know, it's for little kids, but that's no excuse. This is an awful story which is incredibly overrated and should not be given so much praise.
If you want to watch something magical for Christmas, Don't watch this junk... watch The Polar Express, A Christmas Story or Any of the Christmas Carols. Even Die Hard has more Christmas Spirit than this.
