SHAG Greetings

ABC FAMILY
I wish ABC FAMILY had aired the "We Are Santa's Elves" Documentary that is now on the DELUXE EDITION DVD of THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS (Warner Brothers). I had suggested that to them months ago. It only seems fair to give credit to the Producers and RANKIN/BASS cast for supplying ABC FAMILY with hours of entertainment for many years on their 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE
Here are a few other ANIMAGIC figures that survived from a SHIRLEY TEMPLE special/series that was never produced. The ANIMAGIC figures reside in Arthur Rankin's collection.FROSTY airs again on the networks!
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN continues to get high ratings and aired two times in Prime Time! Why do they keep airing that FROSTY RETURNS???? The only other RANKIN/BASS Special that should be airing with FROSTY is FROSTY'S WINTER WONDERLAND (1976) starring ANDY GRIFFITH.
RANKIN/BASS Wrapping paper at TOYS 'R' US
TOYS 'R' US had EXCLUSIVE RANKIN/BASS FROSTY THE SNOWMAN and RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER wrapping paper this year! I used some of it today to wrap some gifts. The FROSTY art was pulled from the WARNER BROTHERS style guide that Patrick Owsley, Mike Fontanelli and Mark Christianson worked on a few years back.Wednesday, December 19, 2007
DVDs
Just got in more un-cut 1964 RUDOLPH DVDs w/ GE Commercials. Posted a few more DVDs on EBAY including this JACK FROST DVD with Patrick Owsley's art on the cover. Also have Re-mastered WILLY McBEAN & HIS MAGIC MACHINE! E-mail: Rickgoldsc@aol.com
MARCO (1970)
Here is another picture of a surviving ANIMAGIC figure or some people call them puppets. It is again, from the collection of ROMEO MULLER and it is one of the tree people from the Live-Action/ANIMAGIC feature film MARCO. The film is out on DVD Letter-boxed and I would highly recommend it for a short scene in ANIMAGIC featuring the song "Peace Berries."IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!
Here is a PAUL COKER, JR. painting/Model sheet he did for a RANKIN/BASS Project/treatment I started in 2001. The Project is called THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR and would star ANDY WILLIAMS & THE OSMONDS (As they appeared in the RANKIN/BASS series). ANDY loved the idea, paintings and called me up to commit to it. This would be done in the ROMEO MULLER traditional RANKIN/BASS style. I was recently asked for help by the OPRAH show as THE OSMONDS made a recent appearance on her show. Donny could not say enough good things about RANKIN/BASS when I interviewed him. I would love to see this RANKIN/BASS special hit the airwaves.Tuesday, December 18, 2007
DAVID SHELDON Greetings!
http://www.dksheldon.com/ My pal David Sheldon did a GREAT gift card line (they are near the registers) for TARGET this Holiday season! David illustrated my CD covers and is well known for his work in READER'S DIGEST, OLD NAVY, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, LOG COMMERCIALS (from REN & STIMPY), etc.
All The Best!
I did a new interview that is featured on www.allthebest2007.blogspot.com Enjoy! This image is a model sheet JACK DAVIS did of KING KONG or IT possibly for MAD MONSTER PARTY (1967). I originally thought it was for THE KING KONG Show, which Jack also designed BUT it in MMP had a slender face like this design. Image courtesy of www.thedeeparchives.com . This art is on EBAY right now!Monday, December 17, 2007
