Honest Trailers - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
So after watching this special, it's obvious most of the "kid" reindeer are jerks...but it's surprising to me just how many of the adults in the Rudolph special are jerks...especially to Rudolph.
The only ones that aren't are Sam the Snowman (the Narrator), Yukon Cornelius, Mrs. Donner, and Mrs. Claus.
Santa tells Donner (Rudolph's father) he should be ashamed of himself...in front of Rudolph. Like it's Donner's fault somehow that Rudolph was born with his nose. Not only that, but Donner does seem embarrassed by Rudolph, and wants to try to live vicariously through him.
The reindeer "coach" (who is Comet, I believe) is the one who tells the other reindeer that Rudolph won't be able to join the Reindeer games.
Santa flat-out insults Rudolph on a couple of different occasions -- to his face.
The head elf guy is a jerk to the other elves, too. It seems like there are a lot of jerks in Christmastown...
I guess Rudolph was gone long enough to forgive Santa, but it would be interesting to see one of those "How it Should Have Ended" where Rudolph basically told Santa he wouldn't help...
