"PC mornons like the OP are by far the most inconceivably lame and annoying people on the face of the earth. Get a beep life"
A mornon, huh? Yeah, you're really stupid. Learn how to spell moron, you dummy. Why would you set yourself up like that? How hard is it to do a simple spell chk before you call someone else stupid? At the very least you could have googled the word. Come on lets spell it together slowly: M O R O N, Moron.
You are on my thread I'm not on yours, dummy. If I'm so inconceivably lame and annoying what does that say about you? Why would you take the time to respond to my post? Your time must not be that valuable. Get it together, MORON. -

This indeed is a classic that I've enjoyed all my life and will continue to enjoy. My children love it too. However, the OP is correct.
I am certainly capable of enjoying a classic and recognizing that the behavior of the characters was really bad, particularly Santa and the coach of the Reindeer Team because they were supposed to set good examples.
The coach even told Donner that he should be ashamed of himself for having such son. Even as a kid, I was thinking, "What The !"
Someone replied, "Yea, right, like little kids are going to go out and treat someone differently because of a stop animation " Well, yes, kids can be very cruel and they don't even need stop animation for that. When kids see others treating people mean, it is justifiable to them. -

I read on another thread someone comment that Santa did not actually say that. What he said to Donner was that he should be ashamed of himself. It seemed by that he was saying Donner should be ashamed by hiding Rudolph's nose with the disguise and allowing him to train or compete. But then Santa says "what a pity, he had a nice takeoff too". That does seem like Santa is alluding that Rudolph's nose interferes somehow with his ability to be one of his deer and early on when Santa see's Rudolph for the first time with the nose Donner tell's him he was sure it would stop as he grows up and Santa says "let's hope so if he wants to make the sleigh team some day." So that makes one think Santa believes something about having a red glowing nose keeps him from being able to guide a sleigh.
What also is bad is Rudolph's own father is ashamed of his nose and says "he will never make the sleigh team" which is why he tries to hide it with dirt. He also says other things which really makes it seem like he is a bad parent. He can't accept his own son unconditionally and this is definitely affecting Rudolph's self esteem.
ON top of that you have another adult, the coach who states his name is Comet also chimes in and tells rather cruelly "we won't let Rudolph join in any reindeer games". I mean what adult coach does that. They are supposed to set an example of how to treat others no matter what flaw they have and yet he states that. I really could not believe how many adults in that story treated Rudolph like an outcast. It is one thing for the other children reindeer to do it but the adults. -

I agree with what you said about Comet, but I don't think Santa was a jerk, he probably thought Rudolph's nose was something babies might have that would go away when they were older; I don't think it's alluding to the fact it could prevent him from guiding a sleigh. I definitely do NOT agree about Donner. Donner still taught Rudolph what to do as a reindeer as a young buck (and his nose is uncovered), and he wanted his son to join the sleigh team someday,and told him self-respect was more important than comfort, and does tell Rudolph to go out there and do what he could. I think he had good intentions, but was way too harsh.
All I have to say about others who may hate on this

Terrible example how? As others have said, you know who's right, and who's wrong. Why were all the elves mean to Herbie? Because he didn't do what everyone else did, but does that make him wrong? No it doesn't, and that's the way life often is, people don't appreciate what the outcasts have to offer, at least not at first. But there does come a time when their being different is going to pay off immensely.

I was speaking about Santa telling Donner to be ashamed of himself for having a child with a physical difference; not about how the elves treated Herbie. It is out of character for Santa to do that. It is what it is. Santa's behavior at that time is so not Santa-like.

Um, I don't think that was the case with Santa, I thought it was him telling Donner to be ashamed for covering up Rudolph's nose. He's not mad at Rudolph at all, he feels pity for him. That's what I see.

@johnnyutahx
You must be a child or you are the stupidest a$$hole to ever comment on my thread. If you had any intelligence you would know that chk is not a typo. Chk is actually short for check. What idiot does not know that? The next time you want to insult or correct someone do a spell chk or google your point so that you don't continue to make a dumb a$$ out of yourself.
I really hope that you are under the age of ten (if so then I apologize). If you are not then someone has really failed you. You should know how to spell moron and you should know that chk is short for check. Get it together. -

No offense, but it you actually think chk is correct you're quite the moron yourself.
See, I just hate it when an idiot dumb ass says "no offense" right before saying something offensive. What the hell did you expect from calling someone a "moron", MORON? But I'm not going to stoop to your level with the insults. To be honest, I wasn't even going to respond to your whack ass post but I just had to let you know that you might want to do a little research the next time you try to correct someone and insult their intelligence. Most adults know that "CHK" is a commonly used abbreviation for the word "CHECK". Look it up, DUMMY. [sheesh] I can't believe that I had to educate, not 1 but 2 idiots on something as common as an abbreviation

Uhhhhh, yeaaaaaaaaaaa like little kids are going to go out and be mean to others because they were influenced by stop motion/animated animals/characters in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. This is a timeless family classic that children have been (and will continue) enjoying for decades.
Uhhhhh.children are very impressionable and often emulate what they see and hear being said/done around them. That includes what they see on TV.
PC mornons like the OP are by far the most inconceivably lame and annoying people on the face of the earth. Get a beep life.
Says the guy who can't even spell the word
moron
properly and responds to the OP in such an unnecessary and dramatic manner.
Be thankful for every new day!
