    Now, if only other companies that are releasing the Rankin/Bass Productions TV Specials would take note.  Imagine my horror and shock, when I recently discovered, that the unoffical, unauthorized Rankin/Bass Documentary that was made in 2018, with none of the people that worked with or for Arthur Rankin, Jr. or Jules Bass, included several of my copyrighted photographs and film clips, without my knowledge or consent.  I am working expeditiously to resolve this unfortunate situation.  This doc appears on the Rudolph, Frosty, Santa Claus Is Comin' to town, etc blu rays and collections that carries the Rankin/Bass name, with no official involvement.
