Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer can be classified as an anime!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(TV_special)>Designs and animationThe figures were designed by Antony Peters in the United States.[14] Antony Peters' name was also misspelled in the original version of the special.[14] The company's trademark stop motion animation process, known as "Animagic", was filmed at MOM Productions in Tokyo with supervision by Tadahito Mochinaga and associate direction by Kizo Nagashima.[10] Besides Rudolph, Mochinaga and the rest of the Japanese puppet animation staff are also known for their partnership with Rankin/Bass on their other Animagic productions almost throughout the 1960s, from The New Adventures of Pinocchio, to Willy McBean and his Magic Machine, to The Daydreamer and Mad Monster Party?[10]
Each "Animagic" figure cost $5,000 to make,[3] including Rudolph and Santa.[16][17]

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a fictional reindeer created by Robert L. May. Rudolph is usually depicted as the ninth and youngest of Santa Claus's reindeer, using his
luminous red nose to lead the reindeer team and guide Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve."
(...)
"Rudolph
first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by May and published by Montgomery Ward, the department store."
(...)
The story chronicles the experiences of Rudolph, a youthful reindeer buck who
possesses an unusual luminous red nose.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer#Story(...)
"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song by songwriter Johnny Marks
based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company. Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas
1949.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph,_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(song)----
In other words, Rudolph had a glowing, luminous nose for a solid decade before the song was even written, and even had one animated appearence before the song in 1948, that includes said glowing nose.

>>1181191Very interesting. But if you read the book, it never uses the word "luminous", and instead describes how at night "
it glowed, like the eyes of a cat." I'd say that's proof positive, but the rest is a bit inconsistent.

>>1181204The same book also is full of illustrations plainly showing Rudolph's nose being luminous, repeatedly refers to it "giving off light", being "bright" enough to "shine on" houses and "give santa a view" through the "fog and darkness" and being bright enough that Santa at first mistakes it for a lamp.
The word "Brilliant" is used, among whose definitions Merriam-Webster lists "shining or glowing with light" and that it "implies intense often sparkling brightness" while also listing "luminous" as a synonym
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/brilliantThe same dictionary also defines "shine" as "to emit rays of light", "to cause to emit light" and "brightness caused by the emission of light", also listing "Luminance" as a synonym.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shineYou basically have to go in wilfully choosing alternative interpretations to read this as anything other than "Rudolph's nose gave off enough light to guide Santa as he flies through dark and foggy weather while sitting behind Rudpolh", which I, for one, cannot name a whole lot of cats eyes or christmas ornaments that would be capable of.

>>1181205Well yeah, the first thing being compared is to
the moon, which you might even say glows. That's my point that it's notably more inconsistent in the book.

>>1181214Your point was it "didn't glow like a light bulb" and was "like a christmas ornament" (several of which have light bulbs, even in the 30s and mostly get their dim light from colored glass and plastics) when it is directly compared to a lamp in-book (and shown to light up a whole bedroom in one of the illustrations above), is clearly described as penetrating the darkness ahead of the sleigh, and was clearly drawn to be luminous on not just the front cover but every illustration that shows Rudolph in the book itself, and has this illustration on its first edition cover.
It's not "inconsistent". It's just using similes because it's a children's rhyme from 85 years ago written to make children feel better about any physical "oddities" they may have and assuring them that doesn't make them any less useful or worthwhile.
You wouldn't be saying someone's hair was "iconsistent" and "clearly wasn't intended to be understood as being black" if it was described as "raven strands" on one page and "coal black" on another.
The moon also doesn't literally glow but reflects light. If Rudolph's nose was just "shiny" and reflected light, he would make pretty much no difference whatosever when pulling the sleigh, making the entire idea of asking for his help completely meaningless.
Plus, you do say that you "shine" a light or "shine" a flashlight when you use it to see ahead of you. So there's that.
Or maybe if we contact Robert L May's family and get lucky, they'll have a note written by the man himself somewhere that carefully calculated the exact lumen of Rudolph's nose, I dunno. That would be quite a bit of foresight into internet discussions.
To be totally clear here, I just found the discussion funny, wondered if it was truly never glowing in the book and looked it up, made the "proof" and am using the serious tone to keep the gag going.
None of this is supposed to be taken particularly seriously. Seems like it might be, though, so sorry about that. No.1181224
