Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and the island of misfit CG

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE. Oh lord the painful nostalgia.

a rocking horse going down on you? MUST BE A BOBSHEAUX.

I kinda think this would be a better movie if it focused more on the Toy Taker; considering he is its one and only leg to stand on. Just flesh out his backstory, and give him more of a reason to repent other than "he never meant to throw you away". Because, if you ask me, the fact that Toy Taker's owner was that careless, only proves his point about toys being constantly neglected!

Actually, most Christmas parades I've seen were before Christmas, so I think the movie wins there.

When this aired on ABC Family, I was curious to see it. Unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) I couldn't get through it. The CGI is a bit jarring for me, and the voices . . . . some of them don't even sound close. Give me the 1964 Rudolph any time!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very crap sequel And if you ever saw it You would even say it blows.

I loved this film as a kid and it's kinda a guilty pleasure yes the animation is terrible, yes the plot is kinda stupid, and Rudolph did relearn a lesson from the first film. But I have autism and I have times debating whether or not it's a good thing for me or a bad thing.

I've been looking for this movie forever. Me and my brother were home alone one night when this comes on. All we saw was the boomerang scene and we laughed our asses of because he just committed suicide.

I saw this on DVD as a kid and enjoyed it. Looking at it now, yeah, it's got flaws, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. One thing that stood out to me was the villain. I love the Toy Taker's design and motivation. It's not uncommon for kids to outgrow their toys and abandon them. Also, his song in pretty catchy, even if Rick Moranis isn't the one singing.

I actually remember watching this movie all the time as a kid. Must've been because of the villain.

11:01I hate to defend this movie but they could just be having the Christmas parade six days before Christmas. heck, my town has our Christmas in November.

8:25 worst Rosalina cosplay ever!

I saw this movie on ABC Family in 2012, and I, a 10 year old, thought it sucks, and STILL sucks.

Actually, the hippo's song came before Princess and the Frog, so... DISNEY RIPPED OFF A RIP-OFF COMPANY?!

I used to watch this as a kid. Can't say I remember it being this bad

The only sequel to Rudolph I can actually recommend is Rudolph's Shiny New Year. Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July had a cluttered story that rivals that of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and this one is just weird. But I would take this one over Rudolph and Frosty.

Welcome to my childhood.

What's with all these claims of 'ripping off' other movies? These are common tropes that have been used hundreds of times, some dating back centuries or even millennia. Just because Disney or Pixar did something similar does not mean that the idea was 'ripped off' from them.

Holy crap, I thought this movie was a dream....

Dude, you deserve at least double the subs you have! So, you got my subscription! Because it's the nice thing to do....

Even though I didn't mind this movie that much, I feel this is a MUST-REVIEW for the Nostalgia Critic. Though just a note, Princess and the Frog came out 8 whole years after this movie.

Dear God. Bumble looks even scarier in that bunny suit. It’s probably mostly the CGI but it’s just creepy to see a demonic-mouthed yeti trying to look like a cute toy rabbit.

GOOD TIMES ENTERTAINMENT??? The same company that made those Disney rip-offs that Phelous reviewed?? No wonder this movie is a world of hurt. (at least Good Times is no longer around)

The toy taker looks like a wanna-be background character from legend of Zelda

17:05 Here's my biggest questions for that: if he was never meant to be thrown away in the first place, why didn't his owners label the box he was put in? You'd think that they would've had the sense to do that for a "family heirloom", definitely would've saved a lot of heartache. Secondly, how did kids all over the world feel when they found out their toys were missing? Considering the "Toy Taker" had that huge blimp, whose to say there wasn't a worldwide manhunt for this "mysterious" thief?

Unless you know how to throw a boomerang, it will never come back. Obviously, that guy has been owned by people who had never seen one before. He's not misfit, he's misinformed.

Santa Christ! Santa Christ! We all love Santa Christ! He is Santa and Jesus! Goddamn! He's Santa Christ! Anyone sing this at the end?

Oh oh Gary Chalk is a Dr. Robotnik once too.

16:23 Toy Story 2: Exists Goodtimes Entertainment: I'LL STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

My childhood. Man, I was stupid.

The elf boss is shorter than he was in 1964

My brother has a crush on Queen Camilla, she is the best! Every time my brother would see her when he was little he would blush because he loves her so much! We love the purple hippo!!!

I never realized how disgusting the CG looked as a kid

How did Good Times Entertainment even get the rights to Rankin-Bass? And they seem to be based in Canada. I seem to recognize a lot of voices from MLP.

I was so sad and disappointed with the twist and end. I still side with the toy taker, Santa totally ignored his point about kids outgrowing their toys. (Also, the toy taker song was so catchy that it was the only thing I remembered about the film after not watching since I was very little, for years until I finally found it again). I never watched the first movie, so for me the plot wasn't too bad.

I have extremely vague fever dream memories of this movie- I can't even fully remember if I ever saw it but I feel like it man

11:46 they live in a misplaced Antarctica?

[raises hand] I was definitely terrified of the Bumble when I was a kid

16:25. No! It's a ripoff of Lotsos backstory from Toy Story 3 😆 they can read the future!

Oh and to add to the celebrity voice Toytaker/Cuddles is voiced by Rick Moranis! And keep in mind, he entered semi-retirement at this point. Again, paycheck

I was terrified of the Bumble! He did that roar and everybody would hide in fear and I would hide behind the couch pillows. It didn't matter that I knew it was coming every year, every year I'd be scared. I would wait for the moment when he turned good and put that star on the Christmas tree.

I remember watching this as a kid and even as a 5 year old at the time I thought it was odd how Rudolph looked like a young fawn again even though he looked like a young adult at the end of the first film. And also him disliking his red nose confused me as well.

Is it weird that the first two times I saw this review I thought you were joking when you talked about the deleted scene from the original when Yukon realized he was really after peppermint?

Fun fact, reindeers in fact do shed their antlers around winter, so there is a reason his antlers are smaller here.

God, this movie was painful! Fun fact: this is the first review I've seen of yours that I've actually seen the entire movie to. I saw parts of the other Rudolph, which, yeah, was worse. Fun fact #2: I've made two reviews of cartoons with Scott McNeill's voice work, them being Mummies Alive and Weird-Ohs. I recommend checking the cartoons out...actually, scratch that, Weird-Ohs is unbearable. :P And, to end this longer-than-usual comment, I would like to say that I'm making a video dedicated to my favorite reviewers. And you're on it! :D

This is literally the first time I noticed that this movie was in CGI... the last time I saw this movie, I was 12. Also, you missed the depressing joke about the piggy bank. She's empty inside, she needs change. Lastly, most Christmas parades aren't on Christmas. Ours was on the 15th...

You know, for the longest time, I thought this came out around 1994-1995 because of how terrible the CGI is... But no. This movie came out in 2001... What the hell? CGI has already been mastered years before this came out.

14:26 Those “roars” were taken out of context. Bumble wasn’t roaring at the Toy Taker, he was simply crying out when he was too big to fit inside the zeppelin, and couldn’t swim after it since his species sink in water. Plus, he’s been reformed from being a savage beast, so it at least makes sense.

Seeing the animation to this makes the VeggieTales episodes from the 90's look like Pixar by comparison.

The villain's a teddy bear that is upset about his owner leaving him? Movie, if I wanted to see Toy story 3, I'd see Toy story 3!

As a Rudolph fanboy. This movie should have never happened. The 1998 should gotten the a sequel

Is Hermey's mobile dental office a Tardis?! Look at the size of its interior!

Much like the American Tail sequels, this doesn't feel like an actual continuation this just feels like someone just telling their own version of the original.

I just want to say coming back to this I love it how The great continuity guy also did a review on this movie

well the bumble scared me as a little kid until he lost his teeth. Maybe the bear built the blimp in the junk yard...

Singing hippopotamus? Meet the Feebles everyone?

I used to watch this movie when it aired on tree house and at least one time on KZfaq. I think this review is what got me to find you exist and watch a good amount of your reviews since then. Love your vids,Bob

I have never seen the original special. Ever. Yet I used to watch this a lot as a kid. I loved it. Wtf is wrong with Australia, having this instead of the original?!

I don't know if anyone will read this comment. But the music from the Review sounded so Familiar and so i serched throw my giant pile of cassete tapes and found one for the Audiobook of this Movie. It's funny how i can't remember anything somebody tells me but I can remember some melodies for maby a hole decade

I think the sad part is the fact that this was a big deal back in the day when it first came out.

Love the Transformers references you put in, esp. they have a few actors from the Transformers franchise (Beast Wars in particular) in this unnecessary wreck.

2:46 - Young adult? Wasn't he an early teen at the end of the special? Because he still had child-like voice.

I love it when you bring Beast Wars reference in this. Great job reviewing this movie

Anyone else wish the toy taker was in the first film? I think about it. Rudolph when he’s moping around meets the toy taker, the toy taker mistakes him for one of those toys with a light up feature without a button to turn off the light, Rudolph gets captured, and escapes. And he shows up somewhere near the end saying when cram and the abominable snow man were falling he got a trampoline and that’s how they bounced(and maybe explain he’s a elf who left toy making when he saw one of the toys he made got destroyed and lost and feeling bad for the toy vows to saw all toys from that fate by taking them).

I'm glad you didn't totally hate this movie XD It's actually one of the few cheap sequels I've watched where I can be like, "Well... I've seen worse" But tbh I love the Toy Taker's design :P The other thing I thought was good was at the very least the voice actors actually sounded like their original counterparts from the first film- that's something that was pretty rare back then :D

And that's the scoundrel behind the secret serenade. Mr. Heebie-Jeebies, himself. Otherwise known as: The Toy Taker

I'm The Boomerang that doesn't come back!!!!!!

I was actually wishing it was already Christmas last night. Lol thanks Bobsheaux!

09:56 Those two squirrels kind of resemble Chip and Dale.

I own this movie but my box for the movie doesn't call it "Rudolph & The Island of Misfit Toys" It was just called "Rudolph 2" Even the title card in the one I own is different So the burst of anger towards the name of the movie confused me at first.

This movie would've been more plausible if the Toy Taker was actually SCP-1048, the Builder Bear. Yes. THAT Builder Bear.

Oh wow, I remember waking up on Christmas morning and catching the very end of this. For some reason it was also playing in our neighbourhood opticians'...

just when I thought nothing could get worse the "the legend of the Titanic".

Did that boomarang just commit suicide? He just threw himself into the ocean, with no way to get back to the island. Huh. Kinda dark.

I’m grateful for that clip, I THINK you might be the reason I discovered Phelous 😊 so thank you Bob🥳 seen in 2017 on my previous account from 2016

My grandma has dvd's from the newspaper and this is one of them. I used to watch it alot.

14:47 actually i had a VHS that had that scene on it, so that little detail wasn't lost to me

I had this film and the soundtrack, I loved this movie as a kid and used to watch it all the time. I didn’t know the celebrity but I liked it.

I remember this movie. I saw it on TV and I saw it in first grade when the teacher bought the movie for the class to see on Christmas thinking that it was the original.

Don't you mean the villain Teddy bear's back story was the same as Hugso from Toy Story 3? Shouldn't the little girl be terrified by the fact that this stuffed bear is moving? I'd personally be worried the bear would put on yet another disguise and seek to suck up all the fresh air from the planet and zip away at ludicrous speeds to deposit it on another planet, somewhere in the Ford galaxy and just a little to the left of Jupiter 2. Everybody got that?!

GoodTimes always creates movies that have JUST the right mixture of creative apathy & laziness in them much like other dollar store mockbusters! The most creative thing they did with this "sequel" was to make it JUST like the rest of their mockbusters!

Two sets of upper teeth? Reindeer aren't even supposed to have one set of them in the front. Maybe someone kept telling that over and over until they decided to put two sets just to annoy that person?

I kinda liked the movie when I was a little kid, but looking back to it is just yesterday's news.

Wow! For me, before , that gun that Cornelius had was soon unnoticed!

May have covered this before, but... the reason the sign lets the light pass is because the characters and lights were rendered on different layers from the sign. The short explanation is: as far as the characters are concerned, that sign is just there on a green screen. Makes it easier to fix things in post, but it can also lead to some embarrassing oversights. Also, how is it you noticed the kids making out, but the piggy bank saying she wanted something to 'fill' her nonexistent 'slot' got a pass? Not to mention that baby girl apparently sleeping without a blanket, in wintertime...

I love how you ended the review with Animaniacs’s Noel song!

11:05-11:10 Thanks alot captin *obvious!*

That toy lion reminds me of scar in design😐

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and The island of misfit toys 2001 is one of my Favourite Christmas movies plus Shrek The Halls,Merry Madagascar,Madagascar Penguins In A Christmas Caper,Kung Fu Panda Holiday Po's Winter Wonderland,Dragons Gift Of The Night Fury and Ice Age A Mammoth Christmas

The tooth fairy probably has her own set of elves or just regular fairies who don't have their wings yet. That's what I assumed and I liked this movie when I was a kid. I don't even mind the Cg because the stop motion was also awkward. I didn't get why Rudolph and Clarice de-aged because Rudolph was an adult when he was going back to Santa's workshop because everyone was an adult and probably had other things than pick on someone. Also this was made before Princess and the Frog.

I remember adoring this movie as a child

how did the toy taker steal so many toys so fast? HE'S FLYING A BLIMP!!!! those things are slower then snails trying to move a turtle shell

Am I the only one here who is incredibly creeped out by the talking yellow kite with a FACE?!!

14:57 i know about that scene, actually the VHS copy i had did have that scene in the movie

I remember this movie. I liked it enough as a kid. I still like the songs

Just so everyone knows, Scott McNeil does sing better than that. Just look up the English dub scene of "A Chinese Ghost Story" where he comes as some mountain demon (I forgot the name).

I think the teddy bears lifestory could make for a pretty good short story

That Toys R Us joke is so dated now. RIP Toys R Us

When they show that teddy bear and his flashback. I actually remember this movie back at pre-school, even the animation are terrible that I dislike, but still. :) Sad thing is that I never seen the Original movie back when I was little... :(
