The moral of Rudolph the Red nose reindeer is that no one likes you unless you’re useful.
rudolph the red-nosed reindeer as capitalist propaganda: discuss
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was created for sales campaign for Montgomery-Ward in 1939. So as a gimmick to get kids (and their parents) to buy things, I’d say, yes Rudolph is capitalist propaganda. Think the Toy’sRUs giraffe.
Admittedly though the moral of Rudolph could be interpreted as “everyone is useful and you shouldn’t look down on them due to weird physical attributes. This makes it a it more positive and gets away from the capitalism a bit.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (the claymation movie) had A LOOOOT wrong with it..its very sexist at times and kinda freaked me out with the implied classist/racist undertones.
I know it has a good ending and all…but man is it hard to watch as an adult.
