We’ve all seen the classic Rudolph movie, and we can all agree that it’s a film everybody should watch at least 3 times in his or her life. For those of you who haven’t seen it (anyone from not Earth, because every human has seen this movie), here’s a run-down. Basically a red-nosed reindeer is born and out-casted. One part makes me want to cry every time I watch is when Rudolph is bullied. There are only two things that make me cry: vegetarians and hazing reindeer. All Rudolph wants to do is play some reindeer games, like Monopoly, but they kick him out just because he has a red nose. If someone got kicked out of gym class because they were abnormal, I bet there would be some Saturday detentions personally signed by Mr. Timothy Dadich. Anyway, Rudolph gets bullied out of his reindeer games, and he runs away. Did you hear that? He ran away! Poor Rudolph. What gets me is that in the movie, he is only like a year old at this point. Whoa, Jon relax, he is one year old in reindeer years, so that’s about 13 human years, right? Oh, okay, well that makes me feel a little better, but either way those other reindeer were mean. So Rudolph runs away at the same time the little dentist elf runs away. The elf’s name is Hermey, and he runs away because he gets bullied just like Rudolph. Hermey has a regular nose though; he gets bullied because he wants to be a dentist and not make toys. So these guys run off together and are gone for a whole year. During their time away they meet a whole slew of creatures. First they find this explorer guy, and he is a real character. The three of them then find the abominable snowman, who’s a big scary creature they have to run away from. After they run away from the snowman, they stumble upon the Island of Misfit Toys. This is basically an island filled with toys that no one wants. Of course Rudolph and Hermey have to help these toys find a home. So Hermey, Rudolph and the explorer go back to the North Pole to tell Santa Claus about the island. When they get back, Rudolph finds out that his family went looking for him, so he has to go and find them. Somehow he just knows that the abominable snowman has them, so he goes there, and the explorer basically sacrifices himself for the group. At this point the whole group goes back to the North Pole and it is Christmas Eve, but it’s snowing so bad that Santa has to cancel Christmas. Go ahead and guess how it ends, I bet before you even read this article you knew how it would end. Am I right? I knew I was right. Anyway, Rudolph saves Christmas with his shiny nose, and he goes down in history. Hey wait if he went down in history how come we didn’t learn about him in AP U.S. History yet? Explain that one Mr. Langelli!
