When Magoo Flew UPA short

2 Classic 1950's Mr Magoo Animated Stag Beer Commercials

Howdy Doody

Howdy Doody and His Magic Hat (1953)

This is a very cool short that I just read about in Adam Abraham's Excellent book WHEN MAGOO FLEW: The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA! Buffalo Bob Smith did not like it and ordered the negative destroyed at the time BUT I think it has some very cool design work as all UPA does. I also read in this book that TEMPO ANIMATION STUDIO took an address in New York that is almost identical to Arthur Rankin's RANKIN/BASS address! Very interesting stuff!

RANKIN/BASS' THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO

This was RANKIN/BASS' first TV series and their first ANIMAGIC production.  They were originally planning to do a series in 1959 with TRANS LUX of WILLY McBEAN & HIS MAGIC MACHINE in celluloid animation BUT ended up saving that for a 1965 feature film in ANIMAGIC.  Arthur always loved the WALT DISNEY film of PINOCCHIO

RANKIN/BASS' RETURN TO OZ

Pegi Loder and Larry D. Mann in the studio in 1963 recording their dialogue for RANKIN/BASS'  for RETURN TO OZ, which was RANKIN/BASS' first TV Special for NBC-TV and appeared on THE GENERAL ELECTRIC FANTASY HOUR in color!

It was one of the first OZ films to appear after the original MGM classic (which I don't think anyone could even come close to out-doing...so why do they try?)

FORRY

Forrest Ackerman was the Editor of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine BUT he WAS NOT a writer for RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY!  It is incorrectly listed all over the internet and even on the DVD and BLU RAY covers :)

JOCKO

I stopped by NBC-TV today in Chicago to say hello to my pal Jock Hedblade (Producer of THE STEVE HARVEY SHOW) and he presented me with this wonderful, one-of-a-kind photograph that his father Jack took of BURL IVES (autographed too) at WESTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY in Macomb, IL :) Over the years Jocko has booked me on FOX MORNING NEWS, THE MANCOW SHOW, THE ROE CONN SHOW, etc.  A great friend!
