    Rankin & Bass helped shape a generation.

    Rest in jerky, awkwardly moving peace.

    I love Rankin-Bass productions.

    Loved Rudolph. I was 11 when it first aired, and I still watch it every year. Great stuff, Mr. Rankin.

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    Many happy moments watching his shows as a kid and with my kids as an adult. You made your mark. RIP Mr. Rankin.
