With DISNEY's Excellent PINOCCHIO coming out on DVD next TUESDAY, I thought I would talk about THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO again. When Arthur Rankin was asked at the MUSEUM OF TELEVISION & RADIO in New York, what his favorite animation was, he replied "Disney's Pinocchio." This is why he chose PINOCCHIO for their first Production in ANIMAGIC in 1960. What I love about it, is the fact that PINOCCHIO is animated as a REAL puppet! The RANKIN/BASS ANIMAGIC animators cut their teeth on this project, which led up to their AMAZING classic RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. The series was very popular in CANADA and the US, due to the fact that some of it was Produced in CANADA as well and got their seal of approval. I offer two collector's DVDs of this series for $25 and you can PAYPAL Rickgoldsc@aol.com ENJOY!
