SEÑORITA COMETA * HD * CAPITULO 56 * LA AMENAZA DE DOGER KONG, ATRAPA A ...
As I write my article on Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party for RetroFan magazine, I recalled this episode of Princess Comet (A Japanese TV series 1967-68) that features a dragon from Rankin/Bass' The New Adventures of Pinocchio and a talking IT (King Kong) from Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party? who ends up saving the day! Kong has much more screen time in this and is quite funny as he talks too! Tad Mochinaga animated this and saved both puppets, which are featured in my book Frosty the Snowman's 50th Anniversary scrapbook. The puppets were on display at an exhibit in Japan a few years back. IT really gets a workout in this episode and I am surprised he survived in such good condition. You can see that he is about 22" in this episode and in the photos from the exhibit and that is about the same size that the Abominable Snow Monster was from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Thanks to my friend Mark Caballero for refreshing my memory on this! This is actually a Spanished dubbed version Senorita Cometa.

Jingle Bells
My late friend Bob McFadden was the voice of Jingle Bells! In fact, he did a voice mail message for me as the character. Bob and I connected just after my first book, The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass: A Portfolio was released. He knew he was ill and wanted someone to document his career and sent me copies of everything. Bob had a wonderful career and voiced so many of my favorites including Milton the Monster, Cool McCool, Frankenberry, Baron Von Frankenstein in Rankin/Bass' Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters and more! A legend in the business! #Theyearwithoutasantaclaus #bobmcfadden #Jinglebells
