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!

For this month's installment, we're featuring cartoons that are themed around then-new technologies, fantasies about future technology, robotics, and inventiveness in general. These fun and surreal stories will feature favorite characters such as Betty Boop, Grampy, Farmer Alfalfa, Superman, Flip the Frog, and the ever-controversial Bosko!

NOTE: This will be an *extra long* Cartoon Carnival, featuring more than two hours of film material—as opposed to our usual ~90 minutes. We'll have two intermissions instead of one.

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 physical 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 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.*
