Based on the 1964 Rankin/Bass Christmas special. Our friend Sam the Snowman (originally voiced by Burl Ives) tells the story of a reindeer named Rudolph who was born with a red nose that shines like a light bulb. His father, Donner, plans to hide his nose with a fake one until his real nose is revealed in the Reindeer Games and every fawn laughs at him and calls him names. After that, Rudolph is no longer allowed in the Reindeer Games, and it breaks his heart and he runs away from home. Then he meets and befriends Hermey (the elf who dislikes making toys and dreams of being a dentist) and Yukon Cornelius the prospector. When Rudolph's grown up, he returns home, rescues his family from the Abominable Snow Monster, and is offered by Santa to guide his sleigh with his red shiny nose on Christmas Eve in order to take the Misfit Toys from the Island of Misfit Toys to every child of the world. From the studio that brought you The Peanuts Movie. Narrated and sung by Daniel Henney.
