Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)	comment	Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a Stop Motion animated Christmas Special based upon the classic storybook by Robert L. May, made by Rankin/Bass Productions and first broadcast on NBC (under the General Electric Fantasy Hour umbrella) in 1964.Sam the Snowman (Burl Ives) narrates the story of Rudolph, son of Santa Claus's flying reindeer Donner. To the shock and dismay of his parents, Rudolph is born with a red nose, which lights up when he gets excited. Santa, who's somewhat of a Jerkass throughout, tells Donner that Rudolph will never get to be part of the team pulling his sleigh with such an abnormality. Donner tries to cover up his son's nose with a false one, which works for a little while, but it eventually falls off and exposes poor Rudolph's secret, leaving him to be mocked and ostracized by the other reindeer... save for Clarice, a pretty doe who likes him just as he is.A second plot thread follows Hermey, one of Santa's elves. Unlike all the other elves, who are content to hammer out toys for all the good little children of the world, Hermey has dreams of being a dentist. His rage-prone supervisor won't tolerate this talk of dentistry, however, and Hermey quits. He meets Rudolph, and the two "misfits" decide to run away together. In their travels they have adventures that include meeting a prospector named Yukon Cornelius, who is searching the wilds of the frozen north for silver and gold; finding an Island of Misfit Toys, where broken and unwanted toys go; and having to flee from the scary giant Abominable Snow Monster.Directly followed (with diminishing returns) by Rudolph's Shiny New Year in 1976 and the crossover movie Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July in 1979, while the characters re-appeared in the 2001 direct-to-video CGI film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys (also made by GoodTimes, who previously made the unrelated 1998 Rudolph feature film.) Burl Ives returned as narrator â€“ albeit not as Sam the Snowman â€“ for Rankin/Bass' 1976 special The First Easter Rabbit.The special was also used as inspiration for the North Pole aesthetic in the 2003 film Elf, particularly the elf attire and use of stop-motion characters.As of 2023, it's the longest running Christmas Special and has been annually airing on television for over 50 years.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Santa's "reindeer" do not even remotely resemble real life reindeer. They, in fact, seem to bear all the hallmarks of the white-tailed deer commonly seen in temperate regions of North America, in both size and body shape, and the fact that the females are depicted without antlers (in real life, female reindeer grow a smaller, but still very impressive set of antlers). Interestingly, it's actually the males who should be lacking antlers around Christmas time, not the females (males shed their antlers around early December, while females keep theirs until summer.) Then again, these are magic reindeer. note Fridge Brilliance for Mrs. Donner's lack of antlers in the scene of Rudolph's birth. Female reindeer shed their antlers in spring, which is when that scene takes place. These antlers also seem to be capable of emoting as if they were an animal's ears (watch closely and you'll see the antlers of the adults curl up from time to time). Obviously, real antlers cannot do this, and it may simply be a product of cartoon logic. The "mistletoe" plant seen during the "Holly Jolly Christmas" number ("Ho, ho, the mistletoe...") is simply a sprig of generic-looking leaves without any berries, looking nothing like actual mistletoe.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Rankin/Bass added a lot of details to the basic story for their adaptation, including making Rudolph the son of Donner and Mrs. Donner (his parents were unnamed in the original story), having Santa show up at his birth to taunt him about his nose (he originally didn't meet Santa until midway through the story), and making the "Reindeer Games" into an official competition to pull Santa's sleigh (rather than just young reindeer playing around). It makes the story seem a lot crueler. Of course, that's in addition to all the things obviously added just to pad out the story: Rudolph running away, meeting Hermey and Yukon Cornelius, finding the Island of Misfit Toys, and so on.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_254fc1c6	comment	Animated Actors: Between 2004 and 2005, CBS created a series of stopmotion promos for the network where Rudolph, Sam the Snowman, and the other characters from the special are establishment as actors: The 2004 promo features caricatures of actors and actresses working at Santa's Workshop with Rudolph being pleasantly surprised. The promo was created to honor the special's 40th Anniversary. The 2005 promo featured Rudolph and Sam taking a break from recording a new scene for the special at a film studio located somewhere at CBS headquarters. During his break, Rudolph encounters various stars and actors from CBS shows where he signs autographs and gives a quick conversation. In honor of the special's 50th Anniversary in 2014, CBS created special anniversary promos for the special featuring Rudolph and Sam wandering through the backlots of CBS. These include stars from Hawaii Five-O, The Talk and other CBS exclusive shows all wishing Rudolph a happy anniversary.

Rudolph himself. He's considered a freak, but his nose has its uses. Hermey too. His talent makes him an outcast among the other elves, but he uses it to save his friends from the Abominable. Indeed, this Trope seems to apply to all the "misfits" in the special.

Several other figures in his position, notably Hermey the Elf and the residents of the Island of Misfit Toys, were shown to help further Rudolph's plight.

Despite being the same age as Rudolph, Clarice sounds more like an adult woman than a young girl.note Her voice actress, Janis Orenstein, was fifteen at the time.

Rudolph and Hermey, who are considered misfits in the North Pole, ask to stay in the island forever, but Moondancer tells them that only toys are allowed to stay.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_4733c4f1	comment	The Song Remains the Same With the exception of the 1980s Brazilian Portuguese TV dub (this was averted in the previous dub), most foreign dubs (including Spanish, Greek, and Japanese) leave all of the songs in English. Subverted in the Hungarian dub. While most dubs keep the "You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen" portion in English, this is translated in said dub. The singing portion that follows afterwards is in English, however. In the French dub, the songs uniquely have spoken narration added to it, not like a traditional voice-over dub translating the lyrics, but rather explaining the action like a typical narration.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: This was the first stop-motion Christmas special from Rankin/Bass Productions and the character designs are generally cruder and more stylized and doll-like than in their subsequent specials, including the two Rudolph sequels. The black-haired, vaguely European Mrs. Claus is also very different from the later specials' Mrs. Claus with her red-streaked white hair (which was fully red in her youth), and the elves here are both male and female in equal numbers, with the males in blue suits and the females in pink, while the later specials, including the Rudolph sequels, show mostly male elves in red suits. On a more minor note, Santa's voice actor is voiced by Stan Francis instead of either Paul Frees or Mickey Rooney, who later became Rankin Bass's two mainstay voice actors for the role.

(Ironically, Boss Elf is the first one who needs an appointment, it seems.) The Abominable Snow Monster itself makes the turn after Yukon outwits it with Hermey's help. And Jerkass Santa? Chalk it up to Laser-Guided Karma hitting him in the form of the Big Snow (he was apparently more of a jerk than usual that year, whereas in the previous year he came across as more reasonable when visiting Donner - other than his negative reaction to Rudolph's nose, at least) and teaching him a rather valuable lesson.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_90e31482	comment	Laser-Guided Karma: The Big Snow is hinted to have been caused by Santa's unusually jerkish behavior over the past year; earlier in the special he came across as a bit more reasonable, whereas the next year he's shown to be putting down the elves' premiere performance of "We Are Santa's Elves" (and the elves decide that Hermey is to blame for not being there to back the tenor section) and chewing out Donner for his part in deliberately hiding Rudolph's nose. That's right, the man who puts coal in the stockings of naughty children was being naughty himself that year, and just after he voided his Karma Houdini Warranty by coming to Rudolph for help when Donner goes missing, the Big Snow hit and almost caused Christmas to be cancelled. At the very least, it taught Santa a valuable lesson in humility and tolerance. In the sequel Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, however, it's revealed that the foggy weather was caused by the warlock Winterbolt, in an attempt to prevent Santa from making his Christmas Eve rounds.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: Speaking for even general legend, Santa isn't exactly the jolly, warm father figure that he's always been in this special. In fact, he's kind of a complete asshole until the third act (and even then he's hardly warm and fuzzy; he's still arguing with Mrs. Claus and getting annoyed by the elves' song). The first time we see him, he insists to Donner that Rudolph will never be able to join his team unless he grows out of his unusual nose. Then, he's insulting and dismissive about the elves' singing. Later, he angrily tells Donner he should be ashamed for Rudolph's nose. Contrast this with the original story and song where Santa is notably friendlier and accepting to Rudolph's nose which is present for the 1996 Montgomery Ward animated adaptation Rudolph's Lessons for life, 1998 feature film, and the first animated adaptation from 1948.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_c3ae004a	type	Re-Cut
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_c3ae004a	comment	Re-Cut: More times than some might expect for a 50-minute TV special. The original 1964 broadcast differs from later versions through Rudolph's and Hermy's performance of "We're a Couple of Misfits," Donner expressing pride in his son guiding Santa's sleigh, Clarice calling Rudolph a hero, and Yukon Cornelius striking peppermint, and elves dropping presents from the sleigh during the end credits. Since 2019, the Freeform airing restored Yukon striking peppermint, and Donner and Clarice watching Rudolph and Santa taking off. Beginning in 1965, "We're a Couple of Misfits" was replaced with "Fame and Fortune," and "We Are Santa's Elves" lost an instrumental scene with physical humor, to make room for commercials. Also, at the request of viewers, a new scene featured Santa collecting the Misfit Toys from the island and a new credits sequence showed elves delivering them to unseen households. As a result, Donner and Yukon Cornelius's witnessing Santa's flight was removed. This is the same version Family Home Entertainment and Golden Books Family Entertainment sold on VHS. Platypus Comix's review of a 1979 broadcast note which actually spends more time discussing the cheesy commercials than reviewing the special reveals a version which cuts all of "We Are Santa's Elves," as well as a brief moment when Donner asks his wife to Stay in the Kitchen. (The author claims every other version he's seen contains the latter moment, suggesting it was reinstated during the mid-1980s.) In 1998, CBS came to the rescue and restored "We're a Couple of Misfits" and "We Are Santa's Elves" to the special, but still included the scenes of the Misfit Toys becoming presents. Due to the retaining of those scenes, the special still does not include the original ending or end credits sequence. Beginning in 2005, Rudolph got screwed by CBS when they decided to make room for commercials by cutting the "We Are Santa's Elves" instrumental and Donner's and Yukon Cornelius' scenes of the ending again, and also syncing a shortened "We're a Couple of Misfits" to the animation of "Fame and Fortune" (this edited version is, to put it bluntly, a mess). They also time-compress the show slightly. The FreeForm airing kept the instrumental section of "We Are Santa's Elves" Most DVDs, Blu-Ray Discs, and digital copies released by Golden Books Family Entertainment, Classic Media or Universal feature the cut that most closely matches the original broadcast. It includes "We're a Couple of Misfits" and the uncut "We Are Santa's Elves," and also places Donner's and Yukon Cornelius' final scenes right before the scenes of the Misfit Toys becoming presents. However, it does not include the original end credits sequence (as the original color version was presumed lost for some time until a 16mm copy was discovered by a random collector in 2018, with plans to eventually include it on a Rankin-Bass documentary), and Classic Media DVDs produced from 2005-2006 are inexplicably missing Donner's and Yukon Cornelius' final scenes. Some airings cut out "There's Always Tomorrow". Freeform's 2019 telecast finally restored the Peppermint Mine ending, and the whole version of "We're a Couple of Misfits", but also made some smaller edits for commercials.

Then Hermey will pull out the Abominable's fangs, rendering it harmless.). The plan works like a charm and the Abominable is defeated.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: While All of the Other Reindeer naturally qualify, Santa Claus himself is actually quite abrasive in this edition, first tersely dismissing the elves' song, and storming out, and later, after Rudolph's nose is made public, he not only doesn't stop the other reindeer from ridiculing him, but he actually treats Rudolph just as bad as they do. He even tells Donner he should be ashamed of hiding his son's uncontrollable, incurable physical abnormality. Clarice is an exception though. Not only does she not ridicule him, but she also compliments him, and even becomes his girlfriend in the end. They all have a Heel Realization upon hearing Rudolph and Hermey's story about their travels and realizing their abnormalities can be put to good use after all (It is important to note that Donner, Clarice's father, and the Head Elf are depicted apologizing to Rudolph and Hermey before the revelation about the usefulness of the nose.) The head elf is especially bad, and initially refuses to let Hermey be a dentist. He eventually relents and allows him to open a dentist's office after Christmas.
