Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer® – A Take Flight Holiday Experience

Fans of the television classic Rudolph will be in for a real treat when Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer makes a stop at Take Flight from November 15-January 15. The all-new, short film uses the same stop motion animation as the beloved television classic to deliver a visually brilliant experience true to the story that has charmed audiences for generations.

When young Rudolph is teased for his red nose and runs away from Christmastown, he sets off on a series of adventures, makes new friends Hermey the Elf and Yukon Cornelius along the way, and escapes the clutches of the Abominable Snow Monster. When an epic snowstorm threatens Christmas, can he rescue his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?
