Trivia
Originally, Rudolph's name is never mentioned specifically because of copyright reasons. Only because of this was its omission then worked into the plot as a running gag.

Quotes
Donner: You've have to take him on. He needs to beat Blitzen.
Old Jingle: Blitzen? Is Blitzen involved in this?
Donner: You know Blitzen?
Old Jingle: Never heard of him, but he's gotta be stopped!

Crazy credits
As the credits roll in the American dubbed version, we see behind the scenes of the actors recording the voices for their characters.

Alternate versions
In 2002, CBS aired this special and its sequel Legend of the Lost Tribe with an entirely new voice cast. Ben Stiller was Robbie, Britney Spears was Donner, Hugh Grant was Blitzen, Brad Garret was Prancer, Leah Remini was Vixen and Jerry Stiller was Old Jingle.

Incredibly funny and entertaining!

As are most of the plasticine short films made, this one is funny, entertaining and very worthwhile! :-) Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that well known and someone made an American version, which (not having actually watched it) seems ludicrous a wee bit stupid. From what other people have said, it seems that it is not good so let us all avoid it!

The original English version is very amusing. Entertaining for just about everyone, with slightly dirty jokes for the wee ones, jokes that make sense for older children and jokes that adults will get and find amusing!

Robbie, Rudolph's son (with a lovely Irish accent), is going to be getting ready for his first sleigh pull while his father is away elsewhere. Unfortunately, he is not very well exercised and is pretty gullible with Blizten - who seems suspicious... He is also head over heels with love for Vixen, ignoring Donner, who wants his affection more. Clearly he's in a wee bit of a pickle...

Enjoy "Robbie The Reindeer: Hooves On Fire"! :-)
