 "7 Things Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Can Teach Us About Life" Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is just a plain exciting story (and fun, too). Of course, you've got Rudolph (the underdog). You've got Rudolph's dad, Donner (a little full of himself, won't ever show weakness father) You've got the monster, the Abominable Snowman (Bumble who "bounces") And you've got the rag tag team that comes together, including Hermey the Elf (aspiring dentist) and Yukon Cornelius (explorer extraordinaire), to overcome all odds And there are just a whole lot of lessons that can be gained from this cast of characters as it has to do with real life (even though it's just a cartoon) (1) We all have our "flaws." It's how we respond to them that matters. (2) Don't write off the odd ball. He just might be pulling the sleigh one day. (3) There's nothing like having a guy that's good at extractions when you need to pull teeth (tame the monster). (4) Covering up a "problem" is never the best way of dealing with it. (5) Feeling like a "misfit" helps us to empathize with (care about) "misfits." (6) Even Santa (the "boss" or upper management) can learn a lesson or two. (7) Everybody enjoys a good story with a happy ending. (Don't we?) Overall these lessons pretty much say it all afterall... and enjoy the movie!! 1. Acceptance is necessary. The main theme of Rudolph is accepting others’ differences. When Rudolph was born, no one else had a red nose. Once his dad found out about his nose, Rudolph was taught to hate his nose. His dad, Donner, covered his nose with dirt. His friends at the reindeer school made fun of him. Even Santa didn’t understand his nose. The final straw was when Donner and Comet, the reindeer coach, basically stated that Rudolph was a disappointment. That’s mighty heavy for what’s supposed to be a kids’ movie. 2. Find value in being different. Another character who had trouble fitting in was Hermey the Elf. Hermey, poor thing, is the only elf who doesn’t want to go with the hive-mind mentality of his fellow elf friends. He hates making toys; he just wants to be a dentist! But everyone in his world doesn’t understand him. Like Rudolph, he’s thought of as being a disappointment just because he doesn’t want to go with everyone else’s flow. He wants to go against the stream. 3. Find your tribe. Eventually, Rudolph and Hermey, who have both left home after being ousted by their respective groups, make it to the Island of Misfit Toys. Like Rudolph and Hermey, the toys have been cast aside because they were defective in some way. But even though they’re licking their wounds and want to be a part of Santa’s sleigh, they have created an ecosystem for themselves. By supporting each other, they helped each other keep the hope of one day being gifted to a child.
