It's time for another big batch of archival 16mm (no digital!) animated cartoons from the 1920s through the 1950s, straight from the Tommy José Stathes Archives to Rubulad's silver screen!

It's been a 9-month long hiatus since our last Carnival program, and we're really excited to be back. For this special return installment, the theme centers around something prevalent in the news, lately: the public domain, copyrights inevitably lapsing, and the liberation of Walt's early 'Steamboat Willie' version of Mickey! In addition to showcasing that beloved and notorious mouse film, we'll have fun with a whole slew of other classic early & Golden Age cartoons, featuring noteworthy characters, that have enjoyed public domain status for the past few years (or even decades). Come and enjoy the likes of Koko the Clown, the original Tom & Jerry (the humans, not the cat & mouse!), Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, Molly Moo Cow, Little Lulu, and others. You won't want to miss this.

NOTE: This will be an *extra long* Cartoon Carnival, featuring more than two hours of film material, as opposed to our older ~90 minute film programs. We'll have two intermissions instead of one. So, there'll be plenty opportunity for guests to stretch and get more refreshments throughout the evening.

Be sure to bring all your offbeat film-loving friends out to see these now-rare cartoons the way they were meant to be seen—projected on 'reel' film, and enjoyed with a live audience.

Cartoon Shopping and Film Archive Benefit Sale:
As a fundraiser for the Cartoon Carnival series and our film archiving expenses, we'll have various goodies for sale—such as early animation Blu-rays/DVDs, collectible enamel pins (Betty Boop, Gumby, Koko the Clown, and others) and brand new cartoon character t-shirts in various sizes! Grab some goodies for yourselves or as gifts for friends, while benefiting a good cause.

Rubulad will have bar refreshments and some light snacks will available (typically regular and vegetarian hot dogs; possibly popcorn as well). Please support the venue for all drinks consumed. Bar/food are *cash only.*
