Danny Kaye for “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” (also pictured Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass). He seemed like he had a good time making this

Everyone should take a moment to appreciate just how absolutely wild the #RankinBass #Christmas specials actually are.
Like, these aren't just retellings, they have deep lore, with all sorts of wild stuff going on. Like, in #Rudolph's origin story alone, he winds up with #Frosty's family on the "Isle of Misfit Toys", then has to return to rescue his childhood girlfriend from a yeti, which ends up getting all of its teeth pulled out by some guy who trains it to bend candy canes or something?? It's been a bit since I watched that one in particular, but it has less deviation than the most of them... "Christmas in July" has Jack Frost and evil wizards and ancient goddesses and shit, all because Rudolph and Frosty wanted to watch fireworks with the family.
They were asked to make a 1-hour TV special off of some one minute songs about Frosty and Rudolph, and delivered this simarillan level errata next to "not being evil is easy: just put one foot in front of the other."

Just saw a music video where #KatyPerry is getting a steamy back massage from #RankinBass #Rudolph, and I gotta say, I bet he can work magic with those hooves...
Mommy can keep on kissing #Santa Claus, my crush is Rudolph. :neoraccoon_heart:

I have to say, I really like the #humor style in #SmilingFriends, especially the cameo from the #RankinBass narrator at the end of the latest episode. The layers of this #joke, lol...

Snow Miser - Rankin Bass' The Year Without A Santa Claus

In case folks were unaware, much of the voice acting for those was done in Canada.
And this year is the 60th anniversary of the first broadcast of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer!
That one was recorded by a team of well known Canadian CBC voice actors in Toronto. (Singer Burl Ives as the narrator snowman was the exception.). The stop-motion animation was done in Japan.
Paul Soles who voiced Hermey the elf is also known as the voice of Spider-Man from the 1960s cartoons.
There was a CBC television retrospective from the 50th anniversary. The voice actors attributed the Rudolph special’s enduring appeal to its messages about bullying and acknowledgement of the experiences of outcasts.

My favorite part of #SantaClaus is Comin' to Town is when the geriatric frost wizard learns how to walk like a toddler.

Worked on a watercolor holiday illustration this week. Wanted to try it without using colored pencil for lines and details, and I like the way it turned out.

Today, May 29, Bilbo, Thorin, and the party of dwarves are captured by three hungry trolls. Gandalf tricks the trolls into arguing until dawn, when the sun's light turns them into stone (The Hobbit, 1977, Rankin/Bass)

And the latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm -- and this time we're looking at one of the worst adaptations of #Tolkien ever, the #RankinBass version of _The Return of the King_, which even Rankin admitted in later years wasn't good. Listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I despair accordingly. Art as always by Jared, who said: "I put exactly as much effort into my drawing as they did into their screenplay." https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/49
