Title: a sad attempt
Review: At a glance, the character models in this computer animated follow-up are true to the originals...but that's where the charm ends. The story, editing, camera moves, animation, and rendering in this show are poor, at best. A young child might find THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS enjoyable, but if you grew up with the original stop-motion specials and you're looking for nostalgic entertainment, please look elsewhere.All the best elements are borrowed from the original Rankin/Bass specials. All the new character designs are lame. Plus, Rudolph's relapse into deep depression over his misfit nose gets old, really quick. There's nothing humorous about it and he comes across more as a pathetic whiner.Stick with the originals...this weak effort, destined for obscurity, will only disappoint. Hardcore fans will be mortified.
