Greetings from The Stuffed Animal Review, a publication dedicated to the analysis of stuffed creature design and their larger worlds. You have stumbled upon what The Review refers to as its Sunday through Friday posts: random images of stuffed animals doing silly things. Feel free to dig deeper into the purpose of this blog by clicking on the “Philosophy” page. Join us on Saturday for more substantive musings.

Holiday Special: Just Plain Bad
This red reindeer severely agitates The Review. First, the saxophone. Why? Nowhere in the classic Christmas story does Rudolph break into song. This is a cheap gimmick to make him “musical.” Second, he is musical. A hard interior music box emits an annoyingly jazzy Christmas tune when pressed. The Review would rather play a John Coltrane CD. Third, the colors. Is this Rudolph, the albino reindeer? Why white? And the red extremities – antlers, paws, and nose – give him a devilish quality. Fourth, Furrier’s Disease. Dedicated readers know that Furrier’s Disease is The Review’s diagnosis for low-quality fur. Note the straggly appearance around the ears, a sure sign of fur that is easily plucked.
