GE sponsors RUDOLPH 1964, 1965 and 1966 +


JULES BASS leads a few of the Canadian voice actors in song!


JULES BASS wrote all of the lyrics for the RANKIN/BASS tunes! That is LARRY D. MANN (Yukon Cornelius) just behind JULES at the piano. Behind him is the leader of the Canadian crew...BERNARD COWAN! Photo courtesy of Elliot Cowan

THE BALLAD OF SMOKEY THE BEAR (1966)

THE BALLAD OF SMOKEY THE BEAR starring the voice of JAMES CAGNEY aired THANKSGIVING DAY 1966! Everyone loves watching the classic ANIMAGIC special on DVD. It took quite a bit of persuasive action on Arthur Rankin's part to get CAGNEY for the special! You can read about it in my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO!

It is almost BELLY WHOPPING time in CHICAGO!

We are suppose to get snow flurries this weekend and be in the 30s! THANKS for the continued book reservations and DVD orders! Mailing many orders today!

Another page from my ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS Hardcover book!

I love this RARE shot from the RANKIN/BASS lost pilot of THE EDGAR BERGEN & CHARLIE McCARTHY SHOW! Arthur Rankin always laughs about how a famous ventriloquist became one of the biggest things on radio!

WALMART

My Mom tells me there are lots of clothes based on RANKIN/BASS characters at WALMART right now.

BOOKS, BOOKS and MORE BOOKS!

I went into the printer's tonight and dropped some big time $ to get these books as quickly as possible. I can see that the demand is greater than what I originally had anticipated. I want to get cracking on these as early in the holiday season as possible. I think I got through to them and should be getting the books in drips and drabs so I can turn them around to you! Stay tuned!

Delivery date 11-24

Heard from the printer today and they promised me books by 11-24. I thought I would have some more this weekend BUT no dice. E-mail Rickgoldsc@aol.com to reserve a book from this very small batch! I also have RUDOLPH books left BUT not many! Get yours soon!
