Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)


Often imitated, never equaled. This classic, magical stopmotion piece also doubles as the greatest story of noncomformity ever told. From Rudolph being ostracized for having a light bulb nose, to Hermey the gay elf the elf who wants to be a dentist, to the poor misunderstood Abominable Snow Monster. It’s shocking how much of an asshole Santa Claus is in the former half of this special. But then, of course, necessity sometimes calls for a break in tradition… Wonder if Rudolph holds a grudge.

Oh one thing I forgot to mention is the fact that Hermy has hair while pretty much all the other boy elfs are bold but not just that he has round human ears while every other elf has pointy ears. Also in what way is he gayer than any of the other elfs in this?
