While according to the website The Enchanted World of Rankin Bass, Warner Brothers is “hiding behind the statute of limitations” on hundreds of thousands of dollars that they owe the animating due of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass, at least we can all give our appreciation for the joy their movies have brought us.
Their numerous contributions to Holiday television include the “animagic” classics: Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Rudolph, which still plays on CBS around the holidays has been a part of family's holidays for over forty years.
The team didn't stop with Christmas though. I was thrilled to learn about the lesser known Here Comes Peter Cottontail for Easter, and the awesome looking Mad Monster Party that I plan on viewing to get in the mood for Halloween.
And of course we can never forget Thundercats! My most favorite superhero morning animation show that I have mentioned more than once in these pages.
But what do you think?
