Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie is a 1998 American Christmas animated adventure musical film about the character of the same name, who first appeared in a 1939 story by Robert L. May. The film was the first theatrical feature from GoodTimes Entertainment, long known as a home video company. It stars Kathleen Barr as the voice of the titular Rudolph, and also features celebrity talents including John Goodman, Eric Idle, Cathy Weseluck, Whoopi Goldberg, Debbie Reynolds, Richard Simmons, and Bob Newhart. The film disappointed at the box office, recouping only $113,484 of its $10 million budget from its theatrical release.
The film heavily differs from the special in terms of narrative, with Rudolph being the son of Blitzen instead of Donner, having a love interest named Zoey instead of Clarice and the main antagonist of the film being a mean old ice witch named Stormella. The movie also had a sequel book published in 1998 titled: Rudolph Saves the Sprites.
This tag should be used if any of the characters from the film appear in a post or if Rudolph is designed to resemble that incarnation of himself. The main sign is if Rudolph is blonde for some reason.
This is not to be confused with the Rankin/Bass TV special.
