Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

[Butterscotch]

Not the song, but the old Rankin Bass stop motion Christmas special. Even though I'm an adult, I watch this almost every year.

One thing I've always wondered, why is that adorable rag-doll on the Island of Misfit Toys anyway? What's her deal? She looks normal enough.

And at the very end of the show, Santa picks up all th Misfit Toys with his sleigh to deliver them to new homes. His method of delivering them is to give each one an umbrella and throw it overboard. Except the bird. He doesn't give the bird an umbrella. Which would be fine, except the bird doesn't fly. That's why he's a Misfit toy.

I think it was her name, like it was supposed to Ann(as in Raggedy-Ann)but it Molly or something of the sort. Either that or she was saying the wrong thing...can't remember either...*feels bad, also watches it every year*

I think there was something different about the doll, and it wasn't her name. Since one of the misfit toy was a Charlie-in-a-box, instead of Jack-in-the-box.

Dolly was abandoned by her first owner, so she feels unloved.

[Butterscotch]

Arthur Rankin, in an interview, revealed that the Misfit Dolly's problem was psychological, caused when she was abandoned by her mistress and suffered depression from being unloved

Poor Dolly! It kind of reminds me of Jessie from Toy story.

And why couldn't the Charlie-in-the-box just change his name to Jack? And why couldn't the jelly-pistol just be re-filled with water? >.>;

[TBustah!]

Oh, I thought this was about the song.

But I guess that one blackboard gag on The Simpsons is still relevant here:

"Rudolph's red nose is not alchohol-related" ;D
