Disco de Destiny's Child: “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”

For 2 years in a row Sony once again puts that stupid Destiny's Child crap on this Dvd. Why does Sony keep ruining Christmas classics like this and now Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town with a stupid Mariah Carey video. When is this dumb so-called trend going to stop. Leave the Christmas classics(Rudolf,Frosty,Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town)as is.Please, NO MORE EXTRA SONGS & VIDEOS...these are not good extras they are just pure crap!!!

I have the original release in VHS and it is way-worn, so I desperately want to buy it in DVD format. I tell you this so that you can understand how hard it is for me NOT to buy this release. I will wait for one that is not polluted with new age garbage. As soon as this excellent Christmas Classic shows up in DVD format WITHOUT the modern commercial corruption, I will buy it, and maybe a few more to give to my loved ones as gifts.

Release without music videos, and I will purchase!

Yes, it is I, the Edit Avenger!!

Here to protect freedom and original art from plunderous corporations and soulless individuals!!!!

If you are considering purchasing a 2004 or later release of 'Rudolph', think twice. It is edited.

I just ordered the original 2002 UNEDITED/no Destiny's Child 'Rudolph' DVD from eBay express. I got it sealed for $6.99 + $3 shipping.

Do NOT buy edited DVDs when you can avoid it. Let's send the message. If you don't think that you make a difference remember this:

Consumer complaints about the edits in 'Beavis and Butthead Mike Judge Collection Vol 1' were 100% of the reason that volumes 2 and 3 were released with absolutely NO edits whatsoever to the material.

Good for us!

Edits are for losers!

I have spoken.

Do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? Sam the Snowman does (voiced by the unforgettable Burl Ives) and he tells us the unknown story behind the legendary "Rudolph Song": When the other reindeer won't let him play in all the reindeer games, rejected, red-nosed Rudolph goes on a quest to find himself. He meets up with another misfit, Herbie the Elf, who leaves Santa's reknown toymaking elves to pursue his life-long career in dentistry ("You wanna be a what? "). Together with the help of the affible gold miner, Yukon Cornelius (who's on his own quest to track down the Bumble - that's the Abominable Snow Monster to you and me) they find the island home of the Misfit Toys who just want to be loved (hey, before there was "Toy Story," there was the Island of Misfit Toys. ) Rudolph and friends return to the North Pole in time to find a frantic Santa ready to cancel Christmas on account of a blustery storm. But Rudolph's "shiny nose, so bright" helps Santa guide his sleigh through the fog...and rest, as Sam the Snowman says, goes down in his-tor-y.

Christmas just ain't Christmas without watching RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. This is my favorate Holiday cartoon (closely tied with Santa Clause is Coming To Town). This stop-motion animation classic paved the way for more recent animators like Tim Burton to flesh out the medium, so to speak. But nothing touches the heart and soul of Christmas like this story does. I'll admit it, I still wait for it to come on every year just so I can sing along and hear some of my favorate lines again: "I'm cuuuute. She said I'm cuuuute!" , "Bumbles bounce!" and "Eat. No one likes a skinny Santa" to name just a few. Am I glad it's out on DVD? Yes! But, as always I wish, wish, wish that there could be some extras included. Even just a little making of featurette. Ah well, at least now I can pop in my favorate holly, jolly Christmas special anytime I want. So when you are feeling in the mood to play some reindeer games, pop in this DVD and have at it.

Watch out! Amazon has just copied these reviews from the original version of this classic which DOES NOT include the Destiny's Child garbage extras. It looks like the original, uncut version is no longer sold by Amazon but is available from other sellers. Be careful and get the original!!!
