This classic stop-action version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was originally released in 1964 as an NBC Christmas special and has been a favourite Christmas movie of children (and adults) ever since; in fact, it is Isabel's "all-time favourite movie".
The greatest thing about this version is how dated it actually is; however, it holds up against current CGI Christmas movies like Polar Express (2004) and A Christmas Carol (2009).
I always look forward to hearing Yukon Cornelius sing the goldrush/Christmas anthem "Silver and Gold" but Hermey, the elf that dreams of becoming a dentist, leaves much to be desired and is almost unwatchable at times. However, Rudolph is main man of the hour (or more specifically 52 minutes) and the unique "ringing" of Rudolph's nose every time is glows is why I keep coming back for more every holiday season.
