Late notice, but I will be doing two 16mm presentations of classic animation tomorrow and Friday (Aug. 27th and 28th) at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Aberdeen, MD. Tomorrow’s show is at noon, and Friday’s is at 10:30am. I’ll be screening several pre-code shorts, classic Warner Brothers, Tex Avery, and even Mr. Magoo, Terrytoons, Famous Studios, and a Bakshi short!
Cartoon Orgy
Filed under classic animation
Please let me know when you or Tom is having something in New York, city that is. Just a liittle in advance notice so I can try and come down there. :)
If it’s an orgy, will there be any films by Fellini?
Great show and great selection, Thad—glad to have come. Glad nobody in that audience came prepared for an actual orgy.
For those curious, I screened:
Show #1: Up to Mars (Fleischer Talkartoon), Soda Squirt (Flip the Frog), Daffy’s Southern Exposure, The Dream Kids (Fox & Crow), Barber of Seville, How to Play Football, She Sick Sailors, Nasty Quacks, The Counterfeit Cat, Trouble Indemnity (Mr. Magoo), No Ifs, Ands, or Butts (Famous), and The Mouse That Jack Built.
Show #2: Swing You Sinners, Hollywood Goes Crazy (Krazy Kat), The Greatest Man in Siam, Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips, Happy-Go-Nutty, Mouse Cleaning, Soup’s On (Donald Duck), It’s a Grand Old Nag, Beauty on the Beach (Mighty Mouse), Feline Frame-Up, and Marvin Digs (Bakshi at Paramount).
Great work, Sir. I totally enjoyed it. The variety was amazing.
“Glad nobody in that audience came prepared for an actual orgy”
Really ? I was gunna bring all that KY if I came…
Anyway “Marvin Digs” ? Interesting choice. I saw that cartoon on Youtube. Bakshi said he really hated the way it turned out. I personally thought it’s one of the best things he did. Not up with Heavy Traffic, Fritz, or Spicy City but it was a pretty solid short.
Yeah, I feel the same way about Marvin Digs which is why I screened it. It looks groovy in IB Tech.
