Romeo Muller, Jr., along with designer Antony Peters, created Sam the Snowman, The Bumble, Hermey the elf, Clarice (Named after Romeo's girlfriend), Fireball, The Island of mifit toys and more!

Romeo Muller, Jr., is the incredibly talented writer, who wrote and created the Rankin/Bass Television version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  I believe he will get his due this holiday season!  He took the germ of a story by Robert L. May and the song by May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks, and expanded it into a one hour musical spectacular!   Romeo created the Island of Misfit Toys, Hermey the Elf, Clarice, The Abominable Snowman (Bumble), Yukon Cornelius, Sam The Snowman, The Island of Misfit toys, etc.   I dug out his final revised script from 3-7-1964 tonight!  Read more about Romeo in all of my books, including the new 20th Anniversary edition of The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass:  A Portfolio C. 2001 Miser Bros Press/Rick Goldschmidt Archives  #Christmas #Rudolphtherednosedreindeer #Thanksgiving #CBS #Musical #Highfallsnewyork #Writersguild #Centerforpuppetryarts #Media #Writer #Rankinbass #Pixar #Disney
