RARE RANKIN/BASS items


In 1966, ARTHUR RANKIN was given a gift by the ANIMAGIC technicians (PINCHAN) during the making of the ANIMAGIC feature film MAD MONSTER PARTY. They carved him a salad Fork and spoon featuring the characters of FANG (Frankenstein) and DRACULA. Years later, Arthur came accross these again and graciously gave them to me as a holiday gift. I had them out on our Holiday tour this past season.

These scripts are the original scripts from the RANKIN/BASS classics RETURN TO OZ (1964) and SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN (1970). The SANTA CLAUS script is ARTHUR RANKIN's shooting script which he gave to me. The RETURN TO OZ script is Romeo Muller's original and very first RANKIN/BASS script!
