OVERALL: Draw
Between all but the original Sony Wonder release for additional (but differing) extra features. Do note, the US/Canada 50th AE has a slight audio glitch (see Cuts section).
Official response from Classic Media on the sound:
"The picture restoration was locked in a timeline and the audio was done after the picture-lock. There was originally damage on the word "Everyone" and unfortunately during the restoration of that song, when that word was fixed, the damage unfortunately covered the word "For".
This is on all the Rudolph 2014-2015 discs from Classic Media, but is corrected on the Universal releases. -
