Media requests 🎅🎄⛄❄
I am ready for my annual Holiday radio and TV interviews! I can help with magazine and newspaper articles as well! Last year I did somewhere between 75-100 radio interviews across the country and a dozen national and local TV Appearances. We do have a Press request form right here http://miserbros.com/press/
We also have Press releases about my books, including a brand new press release on my newest book, The Arthur Rankin, Jr. Scrapbook: The Birth of Animagic hardcover. If you would like to spice up your holiday radio and TV programming and go behind the scenes on the Rankin/Bass Holiday TV specials and films, I am your man! I could talk at length about all the changes made to the Rudolph TV Special 50 years ago this year, in 1965. I can talk about Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town on it's 45th Anniversary! I can also talk about the fact that Rankin/Bass' Frosty the Snowman is 46 this year, BUT the Blu Ray and DVD releases incorrectly say 45th Anniversary! Someone can not count, just like Frosty in the sequel Frosty's Winter Wonderland, where he skates a figure 9. Paul Coker, Jr. and I already did a holiday interview for MARKETPLACE/NPR'S MORNING SHOW, so listen for that! Look forward to talking to many others this great Holiday season!
From the 15th Anniversary book...
We added more Paul Coker, Jr. Variety ads...there is one in the Arthur Scrapbook too :)

The Macy's Thanksgiving day parade Linus the Lion-hearted episode
Billy bird continues to try to blow up Linus' balloon by mouth as Linus tests his loyalty. Linus ultimately blows it up with an air cannister. Forgot how many voices my late friend Bob McFadden did in the series!
Something fun to watch on Thanksgiving morning!
I made a new DVD cover with this vintage television slide
Hope Mickey had a great 87th!
...and doesn't start dressing in Star Wars costumes in Disneyland! Put that stuff in California Adventure park!
