No rudolph wtf

I may be wrong, but as far as I know, Rudolph wasn't part of the original line-up. He came later, and clearly the writers of the film chose to keep to the traditional eight. Fair enough for you?

He was relieved of his duties because he was always lit.

I believed in Santa as a kid but never Rudolph. I always just thought of Rudolph as a sequel story to the original legend of Santa.

Apparently he is not part of the original story and was created for marketing purposes only. He was always a contractor anyway, only needed when foggy, but I guess he could of had a cameo.

Maybe they will save Rudolph for a future sequel

Rudolph was a poseur and a fraud.
