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:

    There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one’s own.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    My story being done,
    She gave me for my pains a world of sighs;
    She swore, in faith ‘twas strange, ‘twas passing strange;
    ‘Twas pitiful, ‘twas wondrous pitiful.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
