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

For our 113th program, we're celebrating 15 years of the Cartoon Carnival! Our first show took place way back in June of 2009, also in Bushwick—so, we come full circle this summer season. The films contained in this anniversary event reflect a hybrid focus: many will be the very same films shown at our first program in 2009, padded with additional party and celebration-themed films. You'll get to enjoy the likes of Felix the Cat, Popeye, Bosko, the original Tom & Jerry (humans, not the famous cat and mouse duo!) Betty Boop, Bobby Bumps, The Pincushion Man, and many others. You won't want to miss this! 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.

NOTE: This will be an *extra long* Cartoon Carnival, featuring more than two hours of film material. We'll have two intermissions instead of one, giving guests plenty of opportunity to stretch and get more refreshments throughout the program.

TWO SESSIONS: We're hosting TWO back-to-back sessions of the *same program* in order to accommodate guests with varied scheduling needs. The first will take place at 3pm and the second at 7pm. To be clear, the same sets of films will be shown at both sessions.

SPECIAL ADDED ATTRACTION: The incredibly talented ragtime pianist, Charlie Judkins, will be joining our 7pm program with mood music during intermissions and live accompaniment for silent era film selections. Charlie cannot be present for our 3pm program; the silent era films will simply be shown with simple music and effects tracks during that earlier program.

But wait, there's MORE: CAKE! As a thank-you to guests for 15 years of fun, we'll have complimentary birthday cake and a cake lighting ceremony for each of the 3pm and 7pm sessions. That's a fresh and separate cake for each session! All other refreshments (and drinks) are on sale courtesy of the venue.

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 such as regular and vegetarian hot dogs; there's usually also popcorn. Please support the venue for all drinks consumed. Bar/food are *cash only.*
