One mystery no one has answered is the question surrounding the supposed “insect” that appears on the screen near the beginning of the show during the opening credits. When the screen shows the “Burl Ives sings” large orange-yellow package, what appears to be an a small gnat or similar itsy-type insect lands on the screen in the seven-o’clock or so position and climbs/flits around for a moment. This is quite distinctly different from the other tiny dot imperfections that also are visible during this segment. This spot doesn’t just appear and then disappear, it actually moves around as if alive.
It continues to disturb me that when Rudolph cuts out on his buddies in the tiny guest cabin on the Island of Misfit Toys, he LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN. It’s winter and there’s a snowstorm and Hermie is sleeping 3 millimeters from the door, yet he leaves it open. WTF Rudolph?
Quite possibly there is a part of Rudolph that wants his friends to wake up and stop him from going it alone. Or maybe after surviving that terrible first night, Rudolph figures a little wind and snow in the door is no big deal. Whichever, it seems out of character.
A couple of other questions:
What does Yukon Cornelius want with guitar strings?
Check out the scene where Hermie first incurs the wrath of his boss by not painting wagons fast enough. At this time most of the other elves on the assembly line seem to be working on locamotive/train related toys. One other elf peon has a sort of swinging gate thing going…maybe something for a toddler to play with.
But what is the elf sitting directly next to Hermie constructing? A box with an odd knob on top. What the heck is that supposed to be?
Everyone whining about the girl’s pigtails are wrong. The ties go at the top when the hair is not braided. But if the hair is braided, they have to go at the bottom.
Compare Paris Hilton’s braids with the other non-braided pigtails. Note those ties are not up close to the head on any of the example pigtails, even the unbraided ones. Note how the crying doll girl’s hair flairs out to the ties, just like the girl in the bottom right.
More braided pigtails, including Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
I just did a “Find all posts by poopah chalupa,” who started this thread, and saw that the last one was ten years ago, almost to the day. Rest in peace, pc.
I’m too lazy to read the whole thread, so forgive me if this has been covered. Rudolph is basically Jesus, right? Santa is clearly God with all his judgmental stuff happening. Rudolph is teased and abused by his peers like Jesus was. Then all of a sudden he is “resurrected” and leads all the disciples/reindeer and becomes God/Santa’s favorite.
