If it wasn't for the two of this team, Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr, little kids like me in the 60's would not of had anything Christmassy to hand down to our children and our children's children.
They sing the songs like we did when they first came out, and we are forever in their debt!
Rest in Peace, your creations will go on for all ages to infinity! And Beyond!

For my wife and I as kids, Rankin/Bass made the holiday's magic. Now as adults, we look back fondly at the Christmas productions Mr. Bass produced and directed. And even our kids loved the productions a generation later. Sincere condolences to the Bass family. Thank you Mr. Bass for these timeless specials.
