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...

Teaser trailer: https://youtu.be/bAfVQd7AdcI

Our 114th program is a major Christmas-themed Carnival; something we haven't done for a couple of years! Cutesy wintertime cheer, shivering snowmen, decorated trees, glistening snowscapes, and even creepy Santas? We'll have it all. Featuring certain well known characters, plenty of obscurities and even some kooky & creepy shorts, it's a holiday selection you'll surely remember for months to come. Don't miss it.

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

TWO SESSIONS: We're hosting TWO back-to-back screenings of *entirely different* sets of films. The first will take place at 3pm, and the second at 7pm. To be clear, the second show will *not* be a repeat of the first. Be brave and bold; consider experiencing it all! NOTE: Separate tickets are required for guests attending both screenings.

SPECIAL ADDED ATTRACTION: The incredibly talented ragtime pianist, Charlie Judkins, will be joining our 7pm program with mood music during intermissions and live accompaniment during silent era film selections. Charlie will not be present for the earlier 3pm program, which will feature all sound films.

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 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.*
