Even though the song lists eight reindeer, when Santa takes off on Christmas Eve there are only seven hitched to his sled: six plus Rudolph. [Santa has a harness that holds eight reindeer. Rudolph is needed in the front to lead the way. Since he has never pulled with the team before, it would be easier for him to be solo in the front, hence 7 deer total.]
Edit
In several shots throughout the show, there are trees visible. The North Pole is not on any land mass: therefore, there can be no trees. [There are no flying reindeer in the North Pole either. Nor is there an abominable snowman or an Island of Misfit Toys. This is a fictionalised version of the North Pole which has trees.]
Edit
There is no land mass at the North Pole for Yukon Cornelius to mine his silver and gold. The North Pole is a floating ice shelf. [Yukon is clearly not the smartest man on earth. It's a joke, not a mistake, that he's looking for gold in a place where he'll never find it. At most it's just a character mistake.]
Edit
When Rudolph and his friends are on the Island of Misfit Toys, the toys are singing a song about being misfits. Then some of the toys start explaining why they are misfits. The bird says that he cannot fly...only swim. Then at the very end after Santa has picked up the toys from the Island and is delivering them, there is an elf giving each misfit toy an umbrella and letting them drop to the ground. When he pulls the bird out he doesn't give him an umbrella...just lets him drop out. Now if he doesn't fly, just swim...what becomes of this poor bird? [During the scene at the end, we see that the owl does fly away. He lacked confidence to fly earlier in the show, per the show's producers.]
Edit
What is wrong with the doll on the Island of Misfit Toys? She looks fine to me. [When the 'charlie in the box' is explaining what the island of misfit toys is, he mentions that toys that are no longer wanted go there as well, which is probably the case for the doll.]
