Following the song's basic outline, dad Blitzen is embarrassed by the antics of cute yet offbeat Rudolph who has a glowing nose, gets depressed, dreams of flying, and shares his problem with Santa Claus (voice of John Goodman). The evil Stormella (Whoopi Goldberg) kidnaps Rudolph and unleashes wretched weather to prevent Santa from his appointed rounds. Rudolph, as one might expect, saves the day by lighting Santa's way through the storm. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
