In this animated short, a reindeer with an unusually bright, red nose comes to Santa’s aid by guiding his sleigh through a storm. This version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed-Reindeer was released before Gene Autry’s 1949 song of the same name as well as the more popular 1964 animated film which has become a staple during Christmas.
