The Best!


I still like the movie upon my third viewing, but watching it a third time I just realized that the end of his life was highly censored, probably due to the involvement of Elvis Presley Enterprises.   0 mention of the beautiful women in his life at the end of his life.  I know there was Ginger and Linda.   There may have been more.  I guess it didn't fit the narrative for the end of his life in this documentary.  I know he had to be happy with beautiful women in his life.  I think he was also happy during the movie years and there was much good during those years, but all interviewed did a beat down on the films and said he wasn't happy.   He sure looked happy in those films and did some amazing things, like his comedy work in Follow That Dream, as one example.   I do agree, as an artist he wasn't growing dramatically, but that changed with the 1968 Comeback special.

I ran into similar censorship with the Rankin/Bass blu ray documentaries of 2018, as did others.  Some of the people involved didn't want the real truth to be told, as it hurts their agenda.  FACT:  Some that went through with interviews were actually censored after the fact, for crediting the talent behind the Rankin/Bass specials, including Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass.  I will talk much more about this in the future.   The truth is always the best policy and this kind of political censorship is wrong and the people doing it, know it.  Greed is a terrible thing.

SHAG



One of the many cool perks we have to offer with our RANKIN/BASS DOCUMENTARY Campaign at INDIEGOGO is this cool hand-signed and numbered giclee print by our friend SHAG!   He has never made this art available before and it is a wonderful tribute to Rankin/Bass' MISER BROS!  Find out more about it right here:  The Enchanted Wold of RANKIN/BASS Documentary

RARE R/B Film Print

This is a very RARE R/B promo film that I located in the archives today! It stars Danny Kaye, Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass...among others. Maury Laws is seen conducting an orchestra and that is why he wrote LONDON SESSIONS August 1971 on the label :) I am adding this film to the JACK DAVIS DVD, because it features art that Jack Davis did for THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF DANY KAYE series, that was never Produced. EXCELLENT stuff! The film also features the ANIMAGIC studios and the ANIMAGIC figures on set.
