Our two-part look at holiday classics wraps up with the stop-motion antics of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, a one-hour special that stretches a two-minute song into an epic tale of non-conformity, dubious revenge, quality assurance in manufacturing, and lackadaisical snowman narrators. Also there are songs.

Don’t be different, unless you’re useful!
