Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, murder scene

We just finished watching the Burl Ives version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. A famous stop motion production. At the very very end, they are flying in Santa's sleigh and an elf from the workshop is pulling out toys from the magic bag and dropping them off the sleigh (falling from the sky) but gives each one an umbrella for a parachute.

He pulls out this bird and opens an umbrella for it. I loudly announce, "push", as a joke because why would a bird need a parachute. The elf looks at the umbrella, looks at the bird and PUSHES THE BIRD OFF WITHOUT THE UMBRELLA.

He gives the umbrella to the next toy. I laugh because I guessed right and then I said, "But what if the bird can't fly because he is a misfit toy?"

My daughter says, "Oh wow, that was the bird from the isle of misfit toys. He can't fly. He swims."

I went back through the film and confirmed, same bird.

What the heck did I just see?

  • Stuff like this is hidden in so many movies but I had never heard anyone mention this one. It took me decades to notice it.
