Rankin Bass stop motion archive added to VFX archive page

Fans of the old Christmas specials from the 60's and 70's will enjoy this addition to the VFX archive page.

It's a collection of photos and behind the scenes footage from the Rankin Bass animation specials. The stop motion motion puppetry was excellent considering the limited resources the production had. Most of the animation for these films were produced in Japan but commissioned by the US based Rankin Bass company which also collaborated with Japanese producers to make "King Kong Escapes".

Enjoy these great behind the scenes photos and feel free to comment and which ones you like the best
