After 40 years, the quintessential Rudolph story is still one of the first. Generations have seen this stop-motion movie made for television. Judging by the overall voting of the IMDb membership, time has been kind to Rudolph and his gang of misfits. But in reality, age is showing. You can only assume that our wise voters hold a torch to a show that we have all been born, raised with and watched throughout the generations. Who can blame them?

Sam the Snowman tells the story of Rudolph, son of the Donners and outcast by others because of his red-nose. He and an elf outcast join together to tackle the world, but it's is a little more complicated than they think.

Singing toys, crazy abominable snow monsters, lions with wings ... and an elf named Hermey. Need I say more? I think Rudolph still holds to this day, despite my jokes. The story is a true coming-of-age tale that may have inspired many, many more animal movies that have taken a festive story to a whole new height. It is a show you will probably at least see once in this lifetime.
