Fantastic!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie was a awful sequel to a true classic. The animation is lazy and terrifying, Most of the songs were absolute garbage, and the story is just unbelievably clique and stupid. The only good thing about this garbage sequel is that I love the song beyond the stars. But aside from that, this movie is a shameful sequel to a unforgettable, heartwarming, and beautiful classic. DO NOT WATCH IT, STICK TO THE CLASSIC! This movie has, besides the song beyond the stars, has absolutely nothing to like. And the hippo character was an absolutely unpleasant and annoying character and sounds like absolute crap. Unless you want to be dumber or love watching these animated horrors, skip this one at all costs and for Christ's sake, do not show this garbage to kids.

I really liked this film at the age I am now (14... don't ask) but I remember as a child hating the end... only Goodtimes entertainment (SPOILERS) would end the film with the Toy Taker being a Teddy Bear named Mr. Cuddles. Only them! Of course at the age of 5 I hated quite a lot of films finding them too soft (you know, always ending with... good guy being human and bad guy being something like a tiger that can talk and stand on two-legs with big claws and teeth and you're like, "A human could never beat something with that kind of ferocity and weapons!") aka Toy Taker--- is beaten by a man riding a reindeer who also has a lasso-rope... P.S. the reindeer is tiny compared to the man...But other than that I did like the songs and general story line and, for it's time, the animation was actually pretty good! The real heart from the original stayed with it although it was...let's say... a little cheesy as most young children's cartoons (or more CGI) have turned out to be from this time.I could never quite understand why it was called 'Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys' because, really, the island and it's occupants had very little to do with the story. The Toy Taker was- quote from my mother- a little scary and gruesome for kids'.Er... let's see... at the time it was being competed with such brilliant classics as Thomas and the Magic Railroad and the Land Before Time VIII (8) The Big Freeze (DTV- Direct To Video) and other classics I have probably forgotten about but will kick myself later for forgetting to mention! But my over-all review was... GREAT! SUPER! STUPENDOUS! anything along those lines.

Christmas is the worst time of year. kids whine if they don't get what they want for Christmas, "EC People" go to church for Christmas but don't really care about why Christmas is here in the first place, and Christmas themed programming infects the airwaves. every day you cannot go one minute without hearing jingle bells in a commercial or a bumper for "it's a wonderful life" or the original "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer." which are both great classics, but they air so much that you and your children can recite them line by line.So, Rankin/Bass responded and made a sequel 37 years after the original creation, dubbed "The Island of misfit toys." and for a TV movie, it's pretty good, with a stellar voice cast, and a somewhat of a reprisal of Kathleen Barr doing Rudolph's voice (she did Rudolph's voice in the version with the sprites of the northern lights, and don't get me going on that version because you'll think i'm either the angry video game nerd ranting about some mid-90s low quality SNES game.) Anyways, since Rudolph's original run back in the day, he lives a somewhat carefree life, with his deer-friend Clarice and his elf buddy Hermie. however, a mysterious creature called the toy taker, is, well, taking toys! so it's up to Rudolph to unmask the toy taker and of course, save the missing toys.I originally saw this a few years after it's debut, on YTV, and i gotta say i liked it, and i still think it's a half-decent sequel, i mean, it could've been worse...but thank god it's nothing like that one Rudolph the red nose reindeer from 1998. if you want true criticism, check out my review of that one.6 out of 10.

I think the animation is wonderful in this movie, more life like than the original. The songs in this movie are WONDERFUL,, my 2 year old sings every single one! It is a very cute movie... If people do not rank it high is probably because they love the classic Rudolph. Which I love as well but it is nice to see a quality sequel. My cousin wasn't crazy about the 3d animations in this movie that was because he is only use to the original Rudolph... I purchased this movie not sure what to expect and This movie DID NOT Disappoint me or my child. I am an avid animated movie watcher and I think this ranks up there with all the other classics!!
