“The hand-crafted, three-dimensional puppets of stop-motion films possess a kind of warmth and charm that standard cartoon characters drawn on celluloid just don’t have,” says Alan Louis, the Center’s Director of Museum and Education Programs. “Rankin/Bass called their technique ‘Animagic’ for a reason. Rudolph’s enduring popularity for over 40 years is a testament to the magical quality the show has always had. Visitors to this exhibit will have a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with a phenomenon of TV animation history. I’m thrilled that the Center is the first museum in the world to exhibit these puppets. Up until now, they have only made a few brief appearances at toy industry trade shows.” For info on visiting Rudolph & Santa at the Center For Puppetry Arts, click the link below. |
