Isn't it Cozy here! 🦇 Although we briefly touched on it in our blu ray commentary on The Daydreamer, there is a connection between The Munsters and Rankin/Bass Productions. After directing 27 episodes of The Munsters, Rankin/Bass hired Ezra Stone to "Stage the live-action sequences" in this film. Do you remember Herman and Grandpa building Eddie's Go cart and all of the funny fast motion sequences after? That same fast motion technique is used by Ezra throughout The Daydreamer with Jack Gilford, Ray Bolger, etc. #themunsters #ezrastone #Rankinbassproductions #thedaydreamer
