do not waste your time . this movie be absolute excrement and and i can not recommend it for child or adult . it quite obvious they be try to do thing on the cheap while which area they save the most money on be not so obvious . the b list celebrity for voice . richard simmons prove why he never succeed a an actor . eric idle can not decide whether his character be from liverpool or the bronx . i truly believe bob newhart be disguise his voice so no one would realize he have stoop to this level . whoopi goldburg and john goodman do their best to add some life to this worthless script and fail quite spectacularly . the music . it sound a if it be write by a freshman music major who be fail out of college . they have to bring a previously release paul mccartney tune to give the soundtrack some semblance of professionalism . the animation be difficult to look at and and i find some of the supposedly happy face scary look . we buy this in a pile of used movie for 99 cent . free wouldn not have be cheap enough for this waste of videotape . i think once they realize they have make such a terrible cartoon and their only hope of make money rely on people confuse it with the wonderful rankin bass version . my advice . if youre look for a rudolph movie and spend an extra couple of buck and buy the original .
