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.
