Rudolph's Shiny New Year Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Erik Adams
It all adds up to a largely nonsensical wintertime fairy tale, but with Rankin/Bass' seasonal powers in the process of diminishing, Rudolph's Shiny New Year represents a last-ditch effort to synthesize a number of imaginative concepts into a single story.
People Magazine
People Staff
The songs, again by Marks, are syrupy. The Animagic process quickly becomes aninoying. And Muller's plot proves even more impenetrable.
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
I'm sad to say, the specials stopped being essential - they ran out of ideas.
Syfy Wire
Matthew Jackson
[It's] just one of the weirdest holiday specials ever conceived
Vox
Emily St. James
In its best moments, Shiny New Year lives up to the howling madness at the center of all Rankin/Bass.
Paste Magazine
Ryan Voyles
On paper, the special sounds like a fun trip, but it's a laborious viewing experience. The weird factor can only do so much to cover up the weak story, songs and supporting characters.
Common Sense Media

Rudolph helps another outcast save New Year's Eve.
