An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17 1/4" [28 x 44 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Santa and the Three Bears, the 1970 Tony Benedict & Barry Mahon animated Christmas holiday cartoon family fantasy ("An enchanting tale of three hibernating bears and how they first discover the magic and wonder of Christmas"; "ALL NEW! Never before shown anywhere!"; "Matinees only! Saturday and Sunday!") featuring the voices of Hal Smith, Jean Vander Pyl (the voice of Wilma Flintstone), Annette Ferra, Bobby Riha, and Joyce Taylor. Note that co-director Barry Mahon had a fascinating life that could fill several movies! He was an American pilot for England in World War II and he was shot down and put in a POW camp, and he escaped and was the basis for the Steve McQueen character in the movie "The Great Escape" (Mahon also loved motorcycles). He became Errol Flynn's pilot and later Errol Flynn's manager. He then made many sexploitation "nudie cuties" movies in the 1950s and 1960s, but at the end of his career, he made a drastic shift, and made several children's movies (perhaps he found religion?). You can click on his name for a more complete version of this biography of his life. If anyone knows more about this movie or Mahon's drastic career changes, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
