Howard Beckerman R.I.P.
Howard Beckerman R. I. P. It looks like my friend Howard passed away. I always loved this 1963 picture Howard sent me of himself, with his
daughter Amy. This was the year that Howard story boarded Rankin/Bass' Return to Oz TV Special, which was their first TV special. The Special aired in February of 1964, on the same night The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan show for the first time. First appearing on NBC's The General Electric Fantasy hour, everyone thought Return to Oz would be the big hit! Ten months later, Rankin/Bass Productions Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer hit the air waves on December 6th, 1964, and went down in history. I was connected to Howard by Tony Peters, the designer of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Return to Oz. #howardbeckerman #returntooz #returntooz

Have you wondered what Mrs. Claus looks like from Rankin/Bass' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer today?
The Animagic figure head is pictured third row back, second from the right! Tad Mochinaga would often use the same Animagic bodies for various films, but different costumes and their heads were removable. Many of the Animagic heads from 1960-1966 are pictured on page 125 in Excellent condition.

I want to Thank all of the wonderful Rankin/Bass fans for our most successful season ever (and it is still going strong!)! I love making people happy and that is what keeps me going 😁 (you can't please everyone, but I try). Our printer had some issues with the supply chain debacle and the soaring inflation has hit us all, but still signing tons of books and loading up my mailman Larry's truck daily! The Anniversary of Arthur Rankin's passing is coming up and one of the last things he said to me was "I want to see it live on after I am gone." I won't forget that, nor will I forget Wes Garlatz's dedication to our cause either. The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass is stronger than ever, and for that I Thank You! www.miserbros.com #rankinbassproductions #January #booksigning #rudolphtherednosedreindeer #madmonsterparty #Thundercats #theHobbit #santaclausiscomintotown #silverhawks #animation #history #television #film #Sixpack ❄☃️🌨
