RANKIN/BASS' THE BALLAD OF SMOKEY THE BEAR aired on Thanksgiving day 1966
c. 1966 RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS/RICK GOLDSCHMIDT ARCHIVES
LAUREL & HARDY
Originally titled BABES IN TOYLAND (and retitled after Disney's BABES came out). I watched the extras on that disc today and Stan's home movie footage from 1961 is priceless!
I have been watching the whole L & H catalog for weeks and it is ALL priceless! My friend TODD SOKOLOVE is the Associate Producer on the extras...which are great! It was cool to see all of the locations as they look today. Great to hear and see Jerry Lewis, Tim Conway, Dick Van Dyke, Chuck McCann, etc. talk fondly of the boys!
