RANKIN/BASS RUDOLPH merchandise radio interview

I did a radio phoner interview with Bob Mangels
Classic Hits Oldies Radio
WJQZ
Wellsville, New York

this am. I have done several with Bob over the years about RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. This one was about the merchandise and we talked about www.timeandspacetoys.com and FOREVER FUN products among other things. It will air Monday morning 12-14 at 8:30am. I am afraid my radio interviews will all have to be phoners due to my wrist injury this year. I have also been asked to be on WLS' THE ROE CONN SHOW December 23rd at 5pm. I was on his show last year BUT with Kevin Matthews.

GROOVIE GOOLIES

My pal Tony Cipriano sculpted this guy and two others from the GROOVIE GOOLIES! Tony is one of the BEST sculptors I know. He sculpted the UNCLE BORIS statue years ago that we offered at www.rankinbass.com and the UNDERDOG and POPEYE statues. AWESOME stuff!

RANKIN/BASS' THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO

RANKIN/BASS' PINOCCHIO'S CHRISTMAS

This was not a good day in 1980

I absolutely love this!

This is sensational (Love having them all on one DVD)! Wonderful quality and a great DVD to relax to when it is snowing outside (We are expecting about 3 inches tomorrow:)) I just watched THAT GIRL "Christmas and the hard luck kid" from 1966 with Chris Shea, one year after he did the voice of Linus in A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS which airs on ABC this Tuesday night.

MAURY LAWS: The man who made all of that enchanting RANKIN/BASS music!

Heavily Edited!

I did tune into the ABC Network airing of RANKIN/BASS' SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN and they started editing it about 2 minutes into the classic special? It looked like they showed the ABC FAMILY cut of the special that leaves time for about 100 annoying commercials including McDonald's and some awful looking Disney thing called PREP & LANDING? Great name for a holiday special. At least they did show the RANKIN/BASS logo at the end this time but had some crazy announcement over it.
