So last night I watched Rudolph for at least the 40th time and some things bothered me. Here goes:
How come all the female elves look EXACTLY alike, but there are some variations in the male elves, ie. the tall elf, the fat boss elf, and Hermie, who if you ask me looks a little too much like the female elves, and may be light on his feet.
How come the male elves all have noses that look like light bulbs (except for Hermie - see above) but the female elves have these perky pointed noses? Is there a plastic surgeon at the North Pole?
What the heck does everybody eat there? I know the Bumble eats deer and pork (although I never saw any pigs running around), but the only other food I saw was the stuff Mrs. Santa was feeding Santa, and it was some sort of purple stuff. It's no wonder Santa didn't feel like eating.
Why did they pick a respected medical profession like Dentistry as a misfit job? My accountant is more of a misfit than my dentist is.
What exactly was wrong with the doll on the island of misfit toys? Maybe she had some overwhelming personal issues to deal with.
How come there are only 7 reindeer pulling santa's sleigh?
How come the parrot on the island of misfit toys couldn't fly, only swim, during the song, but at the end when the elf on the sleigh offers him an umbrella, he refuses and jumps off - was this a tragic suicide due to the long years of isolation on the island?
How the heck does Rudolph's nose glow - has he somehow inherited the ability to produce cold light like a firefly, and if so, how did this happen? I think Rudolph's mom may have some explaining to do.
Overall, however, the story is still a wonderful tale of the evils of prejudice. It is amazing that, despite the fact that we consider ourselves so socially aware today, that this story originated many years prior to the social unrests of the 60's and movements to deal with social inequalities, and is still relevant today.

I recorded Rudolph last night to the dvr for the kids to watch...now I'm going to be watching for the things you described, lol
