BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This was a major disappointment to me upon my viewing. I grew up watching the original and it has been a Christmas Tradition for many for years. I was excited to see that they made a sequel to the beloved Holiday Classic. However instead of expanding and growing the characters they just re-hash the same problems that Rudolph and Hermie the elf had in the first one. In this film Rudolph, not satisfied with being a "novelty act" performing tricks with his nose, travels with Hermey to the Island of Misfit Toys to give King Moonracer a root canal. A storm sends Rudolph and Hermey to Castaway Cove where Rudolph considers having his nose made more normal-looking by a hippopotamus named Queen Camilla. However, Hermey doesn't feel that the change would sit well with Clarice, who is also being taught to fly. Meanwhile, the evil Toy Taker is stealing all of the toys from the island, including Santa's workshop, claiming that he's saving them from the inevitable fact that children eventually outgrow their toys and throw them away. Rudolph has a plan to foil the Toy Taker's plan by disguising themselves as toys.This all sounds promising but most of this happens in the last 20 minutes of the film. The rest is just filler. Worse yet it is filler with BAD SONGS!Sad that makers of this film were only doing this as a money grab. Had they wanted to create something with more heart then we would have gotten a better film.
... View MoreThe movie starts with some over the top narration..I think Dryfus could have turned it down a few notches along with his evil looking snowman certainly not Burl Ives. The animation is like watching the WII bowling team...It is terrible. But I think the big crime here is the story line..It moves at the speed of snail and is way to long. This movie could have easily been cut down to 50 minutes.All that said I was wondering if anyone caught the overtones. the female pig who needs a slot. The Zsa Zsa Gabor sexpot queen and Rudolf telling his girl friend she needs to earn her wings...In all it's a slow moving, poorly animated movie that is way to long and is just odd to watch. It doesn't work even with the big names associated with the film.
... View MoreI think the animation is wonderful in this movie, more life like than the original. The songs in this movie are WONDERFUL,, my 2 year old sings every single one! It is a very cute movie... If people do not rank it high is probably because they love the classic Rudolph. Which I love as well but it is nice to see a quality sequel. My cousin wasn't crazy about the 3d animations in this movie that was because he is only use to the original Rudolph... I purchased this movie not sure what to expect and This movie DID NOT Disappoint me or my child. I am an avid animated movie watcher and I think this ranks up there with all the other classics!!
... View MoreThis movie has quickly become one of our favorite Christmas movies! It has all the sweetness of the original movie and allows you to catch up on all your favorite characters from the original, along with some new ones. I was STUNNED to find out the celebrity. voices behind the animation! The music has my little one (and some of the rest of us) tapping our toes & dancing. The animation is very different from the original. The storyline is PERFECT! It really grabs your attention. My little one will sit & watch it over & over ALL year round. I definitely think this should be a part of everyone'e DVD collection. Worth what I paid for it 20 times over!!
