Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys

You know how in the Halloween franchise, every so often they'd put out a sequel that would ignore some of the sequels that came before it. They did it in H20 and they did it again in the David Gordon Green trilogy. Well, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys is like that. It's a sequel to the original Rankin/Bass special but it has nothing to do with the sequels that Rankin/Bass put out in the 70s. Did I need to reference the Halloween franchise to explain that? No, probably not. But, given that Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the voice actors in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, it seemed appropriate. This direct-to-video sequel isn't awful but it is awful adjacent. The CGI animation is terrible but they did a great job recreating the classic character designs. The songs are annoying but the voice acting is pretty good. The plot is nonsense but so were the plots of all of Rankin/Bass's specials. Also, the title is misleading, the Island of Misfit Toys isn't really a big part of the story.
