"Let's be independent
together”- Hermey, who wants to be a dentist
Why watch this?
This is my favorite of the Christmas TV specials that we all
grew up watching.
Plot Summary:
The famous reindeer Donnor has a son. They name the little
red-nosed fawn Rudolph. This nose causes lots of problems, so
Rudolph leaves home in the company of Herbie the Elf, who really
wants to be a dentist. Together they encounter a friendly
prospector named Yukon Cornelius, and the three narrowly escape
the Abominable Snow Monster.
Dad's Preview:
This holiday wonder, based on a children's poem by Robert L.
May, has always captured my heart. There are catchy songs,
memorable characters and even a scary monster! I will forever
giggle at Yukon Cornelius' laugh, the reindeer games, the Isle
of Misfit Toys, the bouncing Bumble. No Christmas is complete
without Rudolph and his famous ride into history.
