It's harmless enough.

Nestor isn't the best Rankin-Bass special, but it's worth seeing for its serious midsection and gratifying conclusion.

As a whole, Nester is a well-intentioned (if lesser) version of the "misfits can make a difference" story that Rankin/Bass did much better in Rudolph. The story is thin and sometime struggles to fill the brief 22-minute running time.

A terrible rewrite of Rudolph without any of the magic.

There are charming moments (as there are in all Rankin/Bass specials) but it never delivers quite as well as it should.
