Get offline for a few hours, and you learn that the other half of Rankin-Bass, Jules Bass, has died. A revolutionary creator and producer of holiday institutions as well as someone who helped build the Japanese animation industry outside of Japan for decades. RIP, Mr. Bass.

Yas went off of the parameters of making Akira athletic, though he was changed to being younger, Japanese, and a soccer player. This was done for lots of reasons, but Yas' studying of Americana characteristics goes back to his work w/ Mushi Pro & Rankin-Bass.

We lost a legend today. 😔
Paul Coker Jr’s work for MAD and the Rankin-Bass specials has a strong influence in my work, and he remains an inspiration I go to when it comes to character design.

Members of The Usual Gang of Idiots are reporting the passing of Paul Coker Jr. at age 93. Besides being a prolific MAD Magazine illustrator known for his “Horrifying Cliches” series he also did the character designs for all of the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials from 1969 onward.

another missed opportunity is that i wasn't able to make the rankin-bass one out of clay like i intended. i tried, but the r-b models were made out of wood i believe which is a very particular look. i ended up sort of fusing that modeled look with the style of these r-b dev arts!

I'm here to smoke Old Toby and Stan the 1977 Rankin-Bass Hobbit movie.

... and I'm all out of Old Toby.

I took hard inspiration for this design from the classic Rankin-Bass Gollum and Dark Crystal Mystics. An odd combo, but it works!

The earliest I can remember drawn hands being fascinating to look at was growing up watching Topcraft's HOBBIT cartoon for Rankin-Bass. It was influential for me in a big way overall, but the hands are always what come to mind first when I think about it

Me: (shows my mom this cool Deltarune animation just because it's really well done)
Mom: That looks like...like...
Me, thinking of the animation style: Stop-motion? The old Rankin-Bass Christmas things?
Mom: Snow Miser.
My brain, almost immediately after:

This reminds me, around Christmas, I gotta check out the Rankin-Bass special that Walter Matthau voiced Scrooge in. His only VO role.

Just when you thought the latter day Rankin-Bass Christmas specials couldn’t get more obscure (let alone *niche*)...

(Collab with featuring Jilly & Wren! They did the sketch, I did the Lines/Color/BG/VHS Effects!)
