This story could have been better. It seems well intentioned, especially the back story of Cuddles, and tries to offer a nice message. Technical blunders are so numerous, however, you could have a parlor game while watching this to see who can spot the most goofs.
The computer graphic animation is grossly cheap and awkwardly done to the extent it's actually distracting. Characters do not cast shadows. The size perspective of objects is not consistent. Colors are irregular. Movements by characters appear robotic. This last problem is actually cute when you see it in the stop-motion clay-mation of the original classic Rudolph, but it looks weird here. Even though there is effort to reconstruct the characters faithfully to their original design, the overall quality of visuals simply stink.
It tries to give us an update on each of the characters we met in the original, and to some extent, succeeds. Glaring problems exist with Rudolph's personal life though. Instead of getting older since Rudolph's original cartoon adventure took place, he and girl friend Clarisse have apparently been shrinking from young adults to about middle school age (whatever that is for reindeer!). Also, Rudolph has angst about being famous. Why? A "toy taker" rips off the North Pole toy cache, and it's up to Rudolph to catch the thief. On the way, he runs into a loud toy-repairing hippo who offers to zap his red nose into a normal color. Well, OK. Oh, and everybody sings a lot, but the songs are truly forgettable. The voice talents are successful at making the characters sound like they did in the 1964 cartoon.
Had potential, and even the confused production offers a few moments. Overall, this is a very long endeavor, especially for the smaller children.
