Why was "a Dolly for Sue" on the Island of Misfit Toys?

[underpants]

The number one question that we get asked about the special is: What is wrong with the MISFIT GIRL DOLL? Arthur Rankin answers this question on page five of my book. Apparently, her problem was more psychological than physical.

5. More trivia: Which character in the Rudolph movie was based on Fidel Castro?

11. Because she wasn't loved.

Many of the toys on the island are shown with anomalous characteristics, such as the ostrich-riding cowboy and the square-wheeled train, but it is explained to Rudolph et al that each toys is there because a child didn't love it.

Therefore, the Dolly for Sue--one of only two toys with an explicitly identified would-be owner--was clearly not loved by Sue. It's not that the Dolly has an internal defect psychological or otherwise; the problem is that she wasn't loved.

She was, therefore, a misfit.
