* Rudolph is sad about his father covering up his red nose because he is a misfit.
--> '''Rudolph''': Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. Just because my nose glows... why don't I fit in?
* "There's Always Tomorrow".
** Just after that, Clarice's dad arrives and [[KickTheDog forbids Rudolph to be near her]].
--> '''Clarice's Dad''': Now, there's one thing I want to make very plain: No doe of mine is going to be seen with a red-nosed reindeer.
* The Island of Misfit Toys. The concept of it is surprisingly depressing.
* Rudolph abandoning his friends when they are sleeping. He clearly doesn't want to do it but poor Rudolph thinks he's endangering them because of his glowing nose always exposing them when the Abominable Snow Monster is near.
* Rudolph returns home only to be told by Santa that his parents are gone along with his girlfriend Clarice. They were out for months looking for him though.
* Yukon pushing Bumble off the ice cliff with Rudolph, Hermey and the others thinking didn't make it.
* The misfit toys being depressed near the end due to thinking that Rudolph apparently broke his promise to go back for them due to the foggy night. It becomes heartwarming later when Santa arrives seconds later, but still...
--> '''Charlie in the Box''': Well, it's Christmas Eve, but...
--> '''Spotted Elephant''': Looks like we’re forgotten again.
--> '''Dolly for Sue''': But Rudolph promised we'd go this time.
--> '''Charlie in the Box''': ''(tearfully)'' Oh, guess the storm was too much for them! Might just as well go to bed and start dreaming about next year.
--> '''Dolly for Sue''': ''(crying)'' I haven't any dreams left to dream. We'll never get off this island... never!

* Rudolph is sad about his father who put the black nose into his red-nosed and take it off because Rudolph is a misfit.

to:

!In general:
* Expectedly every featurette of Rudolph follows the original story and song's formula of Rudolph being isolated and bullied for his nose (usually to the point of tears) until Santa employs him. The Rankin-Bass special really ups Rudolph's abuse however.
