<Li> Carl Banas voices the other toys which includes: a bird that swims, a cowboy who rides an ostrich, a train with square wheels on his caboose, two teddy bears (one on a bicycle and one with wings), a boat that doesn't float, a set of clown nesting dolls with a wind - up mouse as the last one, a water pistol that shoots jelly, a plane that can't fly, and a scooter with two wheels in front and one in back . </Li> <P> The TV special, with the teleplay by Romeo Muller, introduced several new characters inspired by the song's lyrics . Muller told an interviewer shortly before his death that he would have preferred to base the teleplay on May's original book, but could not find a copy . Other than Burl Ives, all characters were portrayed by Canadian actors recorded at RCA studios in Toronto under the supervision of Bernard Cowan . </P> <P> After the script, concept designs and storyboards for Rudolph were done by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and his staff of artists at Rankin / Bass in New York City, the company's trademark stop motion animation process, known as "Animagic", was filmed at MOM Productions in Tokyo with supervision by Tadahito Mochinaga and associate direction by Kizo Nagashima . Besides Rudolph, Mochinaga and the rest of the Japanese puppet animation staff are also known for their partnership with Rankin / Bass on their other "Animagic" productions almost throughout the 1960s, from The New Adventures of Pinocchio, to Willy McBean and his Magic Machine, to The Daydreamer and Mad Monster Party? . </P> <P> Since those involved with the production had no idea of the future value of the stop - motion puppet figures used in the production, many were not preserved . Rankin claimed in 2007 to be in possession of an original Rudolph figure . Nine other puppets--including Santa and young Rudolph--were given to a secretary, who gave them to family members . Eventually seven were discarded . In 2005, the remaining two puppets of Rudolph and Santa were appraised on Antiques Roadshow; the episode aired in 2006 on PBS . At that time, their appraised value was between $8,000 and $10,000 . The puppets had been damaged through years of rough handling by children and storage in an attic . Toy aficionado Kevin Kriess bought Santa and Rudolph in 2005; in 2007, he had both puppets restored by Screen Novelties, a Los Angeles - based collective of film directors specializing in stop motion animation with puppet fabricator Robin Walsh leading the project . The figures have been shown at conventions since then . </P>
