Mickey

Francis the talking mule! Reminds me of someone in the news constantly...

Santa Claus is comin' to town on ABC tv tonight! 51 years in a row!

Yesterday was Mickey's Centential Birthday and it is 50 years for Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, which he did at 50! Just watched Mickey in a great episode of Naked City called Oofus Goofus! #Mickeyrooney

Mickey!

It is snowing in Dixie!

Santa Claus is resting!

Many people ask me about the original Animagic figures.....

We have sections in each of our books about the surviving figures.  This photo is from our 20th Anniversary edition of The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass:  A Portfolio.   Our Frosty book will have a nice section on surviving figures too!

It's Sheer Animagic!

It's fun to keep track of all of the figures! Like I said, we have a section in each of my books doing that and Rankin/Bass' Frosty the Snowman 50th Anniversary Scrapbook will continue that tradition.

I didn't know Mickey was into potatos! I love the Plain Jane and all others at Jason's Deli! Looks like this was similar and it came with all sorts of styles...
