I know, I know. Personally, I find Rudolph 1998 to be the superior of Tundra Productions' two Rudolph film releases. The Island of Misfit Toys issue had been done long ago by Rankin-Bass Productions (who also produced, of all things, the original Thundercats) in Rudolph 1964, and Tundra didn't even hide it - same models as was used in the 1964 TV special, just CGI instead of stop-motion. And they didn't even use their original Rudolph design in TIoMT! By Celestia's_*beard,_* if they're going to use a design, they shouldn't just straight-up lift the designs from a film that was at the time 37 years old and slap them into the new film! And worse yet, they gave those designs a CGI facelift! They had a perfectly-working thing going, with Rudolph having bangs, and each of the reindeer having a unique feature that allows someone to tell one deer from the other. In TIoMT, they just make all the deer except two look alike - Comet and the eponymous Rudolph, and again, they just used the design from Rudolph '64. By that, I mean they gave Comet a baseball cap. This is why I regard Rudolph 1998 and not Rudolph II 2001 as the superior film of the two made by Tundra Productions.
