With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it won't be long before the Christmas season is here. Here's SAM THE SNOWMAN (voiced by the great BURL IVES) from the classic Rankin/Bass TV special, RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. Have you seen the new Verizon Wireless TV commercial that features the ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS from RUDOLPH? I read that AT&T isn't happy about the commercial. Anyway...I also want to tell you to visit Rick Goldschmidt's RANKIN/BASS BLOG today!

MAD MONSTER PARTY - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
Looking forward to this one! It's the new MAD MONSTER PARTY Special Edition DVD. The DVD will be released later this year on September 8. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon for $10.49. Rankin/Bass Historian and Biographer, RICK GOLDSCHMIDT, tells me that the new MAD MONSTER PARTY documentary on this edition is well worth that alone! The documentary includes interviews with GOLDSCHMIDT, ARTHUR RANKIN, JR., voice artist ALLEN SWIFT, storyboard artist DON DUGA, musical director MAURY LAWS and others. Great to see the RANKIN/BASS name on the DVD's cover!

IT'S ANIMAGIC!
This is a rare RANKIN/BASS production still from the unaired pilot for THE EDGAR BERGAN & CHARLIE McCARTHY SHOW. It would have been great to see MORTIMER SNERD and CHARLIE McCARTHY in ANIMAGIC!
