Main article: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special) Young Rudolph (right) and Hermey the Elf as seen in the 1964 TV special. At its core, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is a classic underdog story. We love to root for the little guy, and who embodies that more than Rudolph? His journey from misfit to hero resonates deeply with audiences, offering an uplifting narrative of acceptance and community that is, frankly, ageless.

When Marks presented the song to Gene Autry, the so-called “Singing Cowboy” wasn’t initially enthusiastic. But Autry’s wife, Ina, was moved by Rudolph’s underdog story and predicted it would strike a chord with other listeners, too. In perhaps the greatest turning point of Marks’ career, she persuaded Autry to record “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in time for the 1949 holiday season. It shot to the top of Billboard’s country-western and pop charts and remained a top holiday hit for decades. When Rudolph questions why he would want to steal toys, Mr. Cuddles corrects him that he only wanted to save them from being forgotten by their owners. He tells them the story of how his owner forgot him, but Santa assures that Steven still remembers him. Mr. Cuddles apologizes for his actions, and returned all of the toys he had stolen, redeeming himself. He is repaired by Queen Camilla, and is delivered to Steven's daughter by Santa. She wakes to see him and hugs Mr. Cuddles when Steven, now a fully grown adult, looks down to see him.

Hermey, Rudolph, Head Elf, Yukon Cornelius, Sam the Snowman and Santa Claus in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images The fancy voices do nothing at all to improve it. Dreyfuss does some rubbish Snowman narrator but Jamie Lee Curtis dons a horrible accent to do a hippo queen! (was she trying to hide her identity from shame?). Moranis has an OK character visually but he does nothing with it and the absurd songs and voice only serve to the character of any menace he had before he spoke.
