Jamie Lee Curtis Movie:

Editorial Review:
Thirty-seven years after his famous TV debut, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer returns in a sharp-looking computer-animated feature. Using excellent voice casting with actors that sound like the originals, this new Rudolph looks and sounds grand. There's a mysterious Toy Taker gobbling up toys around the world. Rudolph and his team (including deer-friend Clarice, elf-turned-dentist Hermey, and the Abominable Snowman) try to track the toys down and save Christmas again. While the setup and songs hold no candle to the original, and the lessons learned are borrowed from Toy Story 2, the final third succeeds--it's always good to have a flying reindeer when you are chasing a blimp. Kids ages 3 to 9 who have seen the original will certainly want to see the sequel; however, their parents might be less enthusiastic. --Doug Thomas

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer & the Island of Misfit Toys [Region 2] Reviews:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys
2009-09-11 - Too bad computer animation was so new when they did this b/c it's terrible. The story is pretty good but the should have kept it in line with all the other Rankin Bass and done the stop-motion puppets ... come to thing of it ... they should totally take this exact movie and do just that b/c the animation is that bad.

A Misfit of A Movie
2009-07-13 - This is an abomination to the entire film industry and a disgrace and insult to the original 1964 classic. The animation looks like some amateur bought a 'CGI For Dummies' book and made it on their home computer. Like other users remarked there is no texture to the images, the graphics look like something out of a cheap children's video game, in which the paper thin plot would have been more suitable for. Gosh, the 30 second AFLAC commercial that spoofed Rudolph had more production value than this 90 minutes of gutter trash! This had so much potential to be a decent sequel but greed, as always in modern movie making, killed it with a slapped together rush job all for the sake of capitalizing off the Rudolph franchise and the integrity of the original!



Terrible.
2009-01-27 - We were gifted this movie 2 years ago. It is dreadful. Don't waste your time or money.

Awful!!!
2008-12-16 - I came across this on tv the other day and I was appalled! The only reason I kept watching it was because I wanted to see who the Toy Taker was. I cannot believe they tried to continue it in an animated fashion rather than the claymation/stop motion style of the original. It looked like someone decided one day to write a quick script, and throw things together in time for the holidays. The quality is just not there. And they made it an hour an a half long! I was definitely disappointed.

Fun family film
2008-05-27 - Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys is an enjoyable holiday film for the whole family. It has good, crisp animation, a clever story line, a little humor, and even some mystery and suspense. The DVD has some scenes not shown in the TV version. Of course it has a happy ending, and it delivers a wholesome message. My 4 year old grandaughter has already watched it half a dozen times...in May!!
