Arthur Rankin, Jr. Died - Blu-ray Forum

arcadeforest · 02-02-2014, 01:42 AM

Did not see a thread on this but wanted to mention that Arthur Rankin Jr died - for those of us who grew up in the 70's (and I suppose really anytime beween the 60's to today) should have fond memories of what Mr. Rankin and his partner Jules Bass created. Those classic stop motion holiday shows were a favorite of mine growing up. I still enjoy Rudolph, Year Without a Santa Claus, etc with my kids today (especially Heat and Cold Miser).

Sad news to hear. Loved watching every single Rankin-Bass production on TV and video when I was younger. RIP, Mr. Rankin.
