Robbie The Reindeer - Relation To Original Story

Relation To Original Story

Robbie is portrayed as being the lazy, overweight son of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with a nose possessing many unique capabilities and powers (such as a worldwide tracking device that assists him in locating the North Pole) who hopes to join Santa Claus's famed team of reindeer. He is depicted as being an underdog character due to his lazy personality aspects, but is trained under the tutelage of elderly coach Old Jingle for the Reindeer Games. Other characters featured in the story are based off of several traditional reindeer depicted on Santa Claus's team, including Vixen, Robbie's attractive original love interest (who he later abandons in favor of Donner, who also is depicted as being female), Prancer, Donner, Robbie's later love interest and wife, and Blitzen, the primary antagonist who bitterly despises Robbie's famous father for overtaking his position as the head reindeer and frequently conspires against Robbie out of vengeance.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, original and/or story:

    Whoever has a keen eye for profits, is blind in relation to his craft.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. Whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. Whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    A story of particular facts is a mirror which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful; poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which it distorts.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
