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)

Kong is proportioned more or less exactly like the Rudolph abominable snowman #rankinbass #monsterdon
Happy #Easter! Or should I say…the day when Peter Cottontail learnt the true meaning of being the chief Easter bunny :ms_rabbit:
Had lots of fun making this lil’ homage to the Rankin/Bass 1971 special, Here Comes Peter Cottontail. As a watch it’s bizarre, this is amplified by the campiest (and thus, best character) anti-Easter bunny villain archetype played by none other than Vincent Price.
There’s also a talking Easter bonnet and a pilot worm. Iconic!

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

Any excuse to share Rankin/Bass content! Here's Buddy Hackett from "Jack Frost", lesser known but one of my personal favorites. #groundhogday #rankinbass #stopmotion https://youtu.be/LhInQQelPfM

I should have noticed this sooner. I've always been kind of a #Christmas freak, since I was a kid, really. And I try to read about these #cartoons every #fall around the beginning of #November. Sad to see him pass, but thanks for the memories 🎅🎄🦌⛄️

Just finished #LFrankBaum ‘s “The Life and Adventures of #SantaClaus” and it should be required childhood reading over the holidays. Love how it creates a single #pagan narrative for so many traditions during the season. I also watched the 1985 #RankinBass special based on it. Cute, but the book’s better.

Watching the #RankinBass #Rudolph for the first time in forever, and I have to say Donner and Santa are horrible. They only come around when Rudolph's condition becomes useful. Rudolph should have flipped them the hoof and told them Xmas was cancelled.
