The popular Christmas movie,
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, is a really cute example of Nonconformity
® A major tenet of Transcendentalism. Rudolph has a red nose that glows and the other reindeer make fun of him because of this; and the elf (Hermey) cannot make toys but instead wants to be a dentist and the other elves see him as a misfit. Both Rudolph and the elf don't go along with how society believes they should act and look. In the end, they realize its okay not to conform to society and being yourself is the most important thing you can do :)
Hermey: Hey, what do you say we both be independent together, huh?
Rudolph: You wouldn't mind my red nose?
Hermey: Not if you don't mind me being a dentist!
They accept each other for who they are and don't change to be "accepted," because they find out that the very thing that makes them a misfit, actually makes them unique!
