OCTAVIA from THE FIRST CHRISTMAS (1975)

As part of the ANIMAGIC restoral process by SCREEN-NOVELTIES, OCTAVIA will be getting a face lift. She is in nice shape for an on-screen RANKIN/BASS Animagic figure BUT she does need a hand washing, eyebrow fluffing and nose painting restoral. Pictures of the restoral will be posted here and at www.screen-novelties.com OCTAVIA is on her way to HOLLYWOOD! Those of you who were lucky enough to see SANTA & RUDOLPH (restored by SCREEN-NOVELTIES) this past Holiday season may have been treated to their last public appearances. Speaking of ANIMAGIC, I am talking to the book publisher and making plans for the RANKIN/BASS TREASURY Book tomorrow!

The NEW WOODY WOODPECKER DVD set Volume 2 is VERY entertaining! Loved the piolt for SPACE MOUSE...so picked this up today!

SUPERDAWG

I took JOSH & SARA to SUPERDAWG last night for dinner! What an amazing place. Transports you to the 1960's by driving into their lot! It was actually established in 1948. GREAT food and they even sell merchandise such as Statues and T-Shirts.

THE DAYDREAMER (1966)

Looks as though ANCHOR BAY is re-releasing THE DAYDREAMER starring Boris Karloff, Burl Ives, Ed Wynn, Ray Bolger, etc. On DVD with a nice NEW cover! They used the images I gave them from the lobby cards. Should have used the movie logo BUT small complaint. A GREAT RANKIN/BASS ANIMAGIC production to add to your collection. I wrote the liner notes and provided the extras,. The disc also includes 3 TV spots that are cool!
