Based on Johnny Marks\u2019 1949 song \u201cRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,\u201d which was based on Robert L. May\u2019s 1939 poem of the same name, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer<\/em> is by narrated Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman, who tells the story of Rudolph. Bullied by his fellow reindeer because of his light-up, shiny red nose and never allowed to join in any Reindeer Games, Rudolph leaves home and sets out on a fantastic journey, befriending Hermey, an elf who dreams of being a dentist, prospector Yukon Cornelius, and a host of Misfit Toys, all while trying to hide from the Abominable Snow Monster. Rudolph eventually returns home and saves Christmas when he uses his glowing red nose to guide Santa\u2019s sleigh.<\/p>\n
