Flopcast episode 729! A few months before the debut of their classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cartoon, Rankin/Bass produced their very first prime time animated TV special. And it was very, very different. So this week we’re looking at yet another Wizard of Oz adaptation: 1964’s Return to Oz. The animation was simple, but a little of that classic Rankin/Bass weirdness was already present. Including: Munchkins who look like turnips, a mayor with a top hat, some of the same voice actors from Rudolph, flying crocodiles to complement the flying monkeys, and a chicken. It’s goofy fun and it’s waiting for you on YouTube right now. Also: How to cross the street during the Boston Marathon. (It’s complicated.) #wizardofoz #returntooz #rankinbass #bostonmarathon #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast
