Who?
Last night was the ASIFA-Hollywood Executive Board meeting. Lots of great things covered. Lots of great things happening. More about that later. Today I want to cover:
But that is not all, said Fred doing a dead on impression of a 80`s Ginsu knife infomercial. With the book comes a completely re-mastered copy of the original filmography that has not seen the light of day for 40 years. David Derks retyped all the text from the beat up photocopy of the original typewriter pages from the writer`s synopsis done for NBC 40 years ago when Kimba was young. David also did a great job of cleaning up the original frontpage artwork so that it looks brand new. All 52 episodes are here and it order just the way the writers wrote them after they finishing the adaptations.
But even that is not all continued Fred Ladd, the Stepfather of Anime. By this time the board is under his spell and rolling with it. no, that is not all. You also get a copy of the original voice cast photo in loving, authentic 8 by 10 inch black and white. The booklet has a very small copy of the photo right next to the Kimba model sheet but you just can`t see the cast at this size. Therefor a full size reproduction suitable for framing. also a great object for autographs.
And here is the cool part, when you pick these up at the Kimba Anniversary you will be able to get them autographed, right there at the event by the surviving cast members. There will never be another event like this. This is the only time that the surviving cast will be getting together in one place. I`m starting to sound like Fred. But it is true. We were contacted by a fan from Baltimore, who will be flying in just for this event. Don`t miss this one folk.
Tickets are $6 for ASIFA-Hollywood members, $8 for non-members. This event will be THE DEFINITIVE REVIEW of the famous KIMBA Series, and a frank look at charges made even today that Disney's "The Lion King" was inspired by Osamu Tezuka's "KIMBA, The White Lion,".seen on U.S. television 30 years earlier.
Exclusive merchandise will be sold! Come Early - Seating is limited!

Fred Ladd was in with a preview of the exclusive material that will be for sale at the November 10th Kimba 40th Anniversary. Looking hot! A 36 paper full color booklet with the definitive work How Kimba Came To Be by Robin Leyden and Fred Patten. Also a great inside cover beauty shot of Kimba, (perfect for autographs) shown here with Fred`s autograph already on my copy and I will be able to add other cast signatures at the Glendale Library show next Thursday night. Come to the show and buy the package and so can you.
