Jules Bass of Rankin/Bass Animation passed away Oh man, that's a name most people don't know, but everyone has seen his work - rip.

just makes you think, the shows you enjoy as a kid, or have fond memories, and you never really think about who made them.

Oh man... that name brings back so much of my childhood.

aside from the holiday specials, there's The Last Unicorn

I honestly didn't know he was still alive....

The Hobbit cartoon, too... I grew up on their stuff

yeah I was surprised anyone from that era was still alive,

but it's a bit of a sobering moment when I saw that

... oh

Oh I know that name
