When a boomerang who doesn't come back swoops by Yukon, he loses his balance and falls. Yukon finally chases the Toy Taker up to the top of the blimp. They head back into the blimp, with Yukon chasing after the Toy Taker, Hermey piloting the blimp, and Rudolph and Clarice doing their best to wake up the toys from their hypnosis. The Toy Taker hears all the chatter, and realizing there are intruders, catches Rudolph, Clarice, Yukon, and Hermey. Rudolph tries to talk to a new misfit toy, a kite who is scared of heights and wakes him up from his hypnosis, but fails. The Toy Taker's blimp arrives and manages to steal them along with the Misfit Toys, all except for Bumble, who is too big to fit into the blimp so he follows on a floating iceberg. Rudolph has a plan to foil the Toy Taker's by disguising themselves as toys. Meanwhile, the evil Toy Taker is stealing all of the toys from the island, including Santa's workshop, claiming that he's saving them from the inevitable fact that children eventually outgrow their toys and throw them away. A storm sends Rudolph and Hermey to Castaway Cove where Rudolph considers having his nose made more normal-looking by a hippopotamus named Queen Camilla. Rudolph, not satisfied with being a "novelty act" performing tricks with his nose, travels with Hermey to the Island of Misfit Toys to give King Moonracer a root canal dental treatment. The voice cast includes Rick Moranis, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Richard Dreyfuss. Golden Books Family Entertainment was likewise retained as the production company. Several key personnel were retained from that movie: Kathleen Barr, the voice of Rudolph Michael Aschner, the head writer and Bill Kowalchuk, the director.
GoodTimes Entertainment, three years prior, had released Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie, which was set in a separate continuity with different supporting characters. The film thus revisits classic characters like Yukon Cornelius, Hermey the Elf (now a dentist), the Abominable Snowmonster, and Rudolph, who is now famous in the North Pole. The film takes place after the events of the original special (despite Rudolph and Clarice utilizing their young designs from that special). It was released on VHS and DVD on October 30, 2001. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys is a 2001 American-Canadian Christmas computer-animated adventure musical film directed by Bill Kowalchuk for GoodTimes Entertainment.
