Fresh from a foggy sleigh ride, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer can rest at last--or can he? The Baby New Year is missing, and with all the haze and flurry from the great snowstorm, Rudolph--with his glowing nose--is the only one who can see clearly enough to find him. Aided by a seemingly monstrous whale and a homely caveman, Rudolph sets out to find the missing Baby New Year. But in addition to the ugly weather, the group must contend with an evil buzzard, Aeon, who wishes to find the Baby New Year and stop time forever by destroying him. RUDOLPH'S SHINY NEW YEAR, the sequel to RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER, is a compelling story for kids and adults alike. Its expansive cast of characters will charm viewers with their undaunting solidarity to locate the Baby New Year. Directors Rankin and Bass have done it again; RUDOLPH'S SHINY NEW YEAR is an endearing film that encapsulates the best facets of 1960s and 1970s children's television--a plot devoid of guns or violence, a stint of catchy heartfelt songs, and an unforgettable happy ending.
