The original "Rudolph" was a lot of fun, stressed "Rudolph's growing up and taking on responsibility, and had superior songs. Some of those songs, like "Holly Jolly Christmas" "Silver and Gold" and have made their way into the secular Christmas soundtrack. Not so with "Rudolph's (Less Than) Shiny New Year".
This attempt to milk the story should have been abandoned. The story badly mixes characters from other stories, has songs that just are not memorable, animation that differers dramatically from the original, and, frankly, its villain is not villainous enough!
This show reminds me of how I enjoyed the charming animated "The little Drummer Boy" but not its horrid sequel "LDB, Book Two". Sometimes, one has to make a good movie and remain happy itch one has made,rather than trying for a sequel.
