Hiroshi Tabata works on Charlie-in-the-box in Animagic, on the set of Rankin/Bass' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1964. At its core, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is a classic underdog story. We love to root for the little guy, and who embodies that more than Rudolph? His journey from misfit to hero resonates deeply with audiences, offering an uplifting narrative of acceptance and community that is, frankly, ageless. In the Doctor Who promotional mini-webisode " Songtaran Carols" (2012), the Sontaran warrior-nurse-detective Strax stated: "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose. It proved to be a tactical disadvantage, because it enabled me to punch him in the dark."

( November 2017) A live-action version of Rudolph (complete with glowing nose) along with Donner and Blitzen appears in the Doctor Who Christmas special, " Last Christmas" which was broadcast on BBC One on 25 December 2014. [34] In this special, Santa is able to park him like a car and turn off his nose. Still, Marks initially struggled with the task, calling his first attempt “ easily one of the worst songs ever written.” Later revisions proved more successful, and he began shopping the tune around to singers like Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore and Perry Como (who would have taken it, had Marks given him permission to alter the lyrics).

Old Fashioned Christmas". University Place/ Wisconsin Historical Society. December 12, 2010. 0:28 minutes in. Wisconsin Public Television. The cultural significance of a red nose has changed since the story's publication. In 1930s popular culture, a bright red nose was closely associated with chronic alcoholism and drunkards, so the story idea was initially rejected. May asked his illustrator friend at Montgomery Ward, Denver Gillen, to draw "cute reindeer", using zoo deer as models. The alert, bouncy character Gillen developed convinced management to support the idea. [16]

MadTV featured Rudolph in a parody of the 1964 Rankin-Bass special called Raging Rudolph. Rudolph is beaten up for his red nose, and decides to get revenge on Santa Claus with Hermie the Elf by hiring Yukon Cornelius (a hitman in the special) to kill and decapitate Santa. Rudolph then takes over the North Pole. A sequel to the skit, The Reinfather, shows Rudolph exacting revenge for his hitman's death in a nod to The Godfather. In the Rankin/Bass holiday special, his father is Donner and his mother is a tan doe named Mrs. Donner.

To transform May’s story into a full script, Rankin and Bass turned to Romeo Muller, who collaborated with them on Return to Oz, another installment of the GE Fantasy Hour. Muller, along with animation writer Tony Peters, expanded the story into a full cast of characters, drawing out its themes of individuality and alienation. He was also responsible for many of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s embellishments—from Hermey the Elf’s longing to be a dentist rather than a toymaker to the ferocious Bumble, a snow monster who roams the tundra—that are memorable, even more than 50 years later.

He also changes Rudolph's story saying, he hates Christmas and is gonna steal it. He then yells "Action!" through a megaphone. But Max takes off the fake red nose the Grinch had put on him.

The fancy voices do nothing at all to improve it. Dreyfuss does some rubbish Snowman narrator but Jamie Lee Curtis dons a horrible accent to do a hippo queen! (was she trying to hide her identity from shame?). Moranis has an OK character visually but he does nothing with it and the absurd songs and voice only serve to the character of any menace he had before he spoke. Rankin/Bass’ collection of television specials continue to inspire modern filmmakers, including Tim Burton, who frequently uses stop-motion animation. Like Mochinaga, Burton relied on a cast of puppets built with interior joints to create The Nightmare Before Christmas’ characters, who move fluidly through 230 built-to-scale sets.
