Why was the red headed doll there?

It's the eternal Christmas question...

Why was the red headed doll on the Island of Misfit Toys in the TV show Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?

[vmcknight]

She's a lesbian.

(Yes, I'm watching Season Four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Why do you ask?)

Didn't she suffer the same fate as Jessie from Toy Story her owner "grew up" and no longer played with her?

If you mean the mid 1960s Rankin/Bass Animation Classic?

If so Arthur Rankin has said her problem is psychological rather than physical but as she is on screen for only a few seconds he never gave it much thought.
