Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc. (formerly Videocraft International, Ltd.) is an American production company, known for its seasonal television specials.
The company origins
The company was founded by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in the early-1960s as Videocraft International. One of Rankin/Bass's first projects was an independently produced series based on the character Pinocchio. It was done using "Animagic", a stop motion animation process using figurines (a process already pioneered by George Pal's "Puppetoons" and Art Clokey's Gumby and Davey and Goliath). This was followed by another independently produced series using more traditional cel animation and based on already established characters, Tales of the Wizard of Oz in 1961.

Watched some Rankin & Bass specials on DVD. Ate some tasty burgers & potatoes. Beyond that, kind of a mellow day, with lots of snow.
