Rankin / Bass Productions is the company that brought you all those cheesey Christmas specials with the stop-motion animation.

Here’s a list of TV Specials, including the one with the wooden Fred Astaire. For some reason I always think Dick Van Dyke did one, probably because of the enormous chin on the Fred Astaire puppet.

Rankin / Bass also did “Thundercats” and “The Hobbit.”

Winfield Gallery is one of my favorite galleries in Carmel. They have a good selection of modern sculpture in addition to oils and watercolors.

The art is varied and fresh… Owner Chris Winfield, in addition to being a really cool person, is a wealth of information on the artists they display there.
