Jules Bass, who brought ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' to TV, has died at age 87.
Bass, who helmed beloved animated Christmas specials like"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and"Frosty the Snowman," died this week, publicist Jennifer Ruff told CNN. He was 87.
But the duo left a permanent mark on TV with the 1964 debut of"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," a stop-motion special based on the Christmas story and popular song. The 55-minute special expanded the story to include a crew of misfit toys, a snowman narrator voiced by Burl Ives, a too-skinny Santa and a bizarre mustachioed prospector named Yukon Cornelius.
Bass and Rankin worked together for decades, crafting stop-motion feature films like"Mad Monster Party" and animated adaptations of"The Hobbit" and"The Return of the King." The duo also produced the cult-classic TV series"Thundercats.
