Santa is so nasty and non-understanding

They all drive Rudolph away from his home and almost get him killed by Bumble! And then when Santa has need for that nose, all of a sudden he's fine with Rudolph. Nice lesson to teach the kiddies, lol And then the fat bastard doesn't even land the sleigh, he just tosses the toys out randomly! Who the hell knows where they're landing? Would be nice if they finally get off the island and then are run over by a truck!

"If you watch carefully Burl Ives says they started to be nice to Rudolph and Hermy after the rescue at the cave but before the bad weather report."
True, but listen to Santa's tone of voice when he's about to cancel Christmas. Rudolph's nose starts to glow. In a frustrated/disgusted voice, he says, "Rudolph, could you tone it down a bit? I mean, that nose of yours." It sounded to me like he wasn't totally accepting of Rudolph's nose until he realized the benefit of using Rudolph to guide his sleigh. -

Well, it was shining in his face. That would be irritating to anyone. He was trying to explain something but was distracted by the shining nose at first, then realized the shining nose solved the problem.

Um, no. I don't see Donner as a jerk. He was trying to
get Rudolph to join the sleigh team and he did
teach Rudolph how to hunt and what to do as a reindeer.
He also told Rudolph that self-respect (respect for Rudolph himself) was more important than comfort. And notice how he encourages Rudolph to join the other deer at the games.
I think that he was just trying to do what was best for his son, but was a bit too harsh. And remember that he did apologize at the end.
