Anyway, the Toy Taker (Rick Moranis) has not only ripped
toys off Santa (Gary Chalk), but all the world's kiddywinks
and taken the pressies to a faraway place to be with him.
Rudolph, with the assistance of Clarice (Elizabeth Carol
Savenkolf) and some friends - including Bumbles the abominable
snowman (Chalk again) - sets off to track the beastly chap
down and save Christmas.
The story itself is a really nice one and will appeal to
those between 3 and about 10. Some parts are sad near the
end, but the overall story is an uplifting one that shows
that not all bad people are all bad.
Jamie Lee Curtis has a fantastic part as Queen Camilla -
a disco hippo of all things and Richard Dreyfuss is Scoop
the Snowman, who narrates the yarn.
I have to say the animations are pretty good - very computer
graphicky - and the transfer is cleaner than fresh snow. The
sound is excellent and there are some really good songs for
the kids to sing along with.
Rudolph has grown on me after the kids watched it a couple
of times and judging by their reactions to it - repeat viewing
value - I'll give it a thumbs up.
