KUKLA, FRAN & OLLIE

Okay, this isn't animation - but it was an intergral part of early television (and my personal childhood): KUKLA, FRAN & OLLIE.

Fran Allison, puppeteer Burr Tillstrom and their puppet pals are fondly remembered on a wonderful website: The Unofficial KUKLAPOLITAN Web Page. It's loaded with info about the creators and stars of this pioneering TV puppet program - with vintage photos, magazine articles, interviews with the cameraman and director, merchandising, celebrity endorsements, audio (from vinatge records), and video downloads. Even if you have no interest in puppets, this website is a whole lot of fun. It's my reccommendation of the day!
