Cartoon Serials Featured on Kukla, Fran & Ollie

I am looking for information on 2 cartoon serials featured on Kukla, Fran & Ollie. I believe the host at that time was Frazier Thomas instead of Fran. The cartoon features were about 1) The Fire Bird and another was about 2) The Snow Queen. I remember them as being beautifully animated. Are these features available for purchase? Any information please email me at ddjfoxes@insightbb.com
Thank you.

If Frazier Thomas was the host, the show was not KFO - it was Garfield Goose.

Here's info on The Snow Queen:

It's available on DVD:

Garfield Goose also featured an animated version of The Firebird:

Here's a comment from another board:

"I remember watching Garfield Goose in the late 60s. My favorite part of the show (other than the puppets) were the multi-part stories; one series I never did see in its entirety was 'The Firebird'. This was an animated version of an old Russian fairy tale, and I have never been able to find any reference to it on the Web. let alone discover if it's ever been available on video."
