It's time for two big batches of 16mm (no digital!) animated cartoons from the 1920s through the 1950s, straight from the Tommy José Stathes Archives—screened *in person* on Rubulad's silver screen!

For program #99, we're hosting two back-to-back programs of festive animated oddities and curiosities in celebration of the Christmas season. This holly jolly selection features *two* entirely different sets of films in the 1930s through the 1950s. In addition to strange snowy scenarios, silly tree trimming parties, a couple of sing-alongs, and Christmas morning gift-giving follies, there will be a few familiar faces like Popeye, Grampy, Scrappy, Frosty, Santa and his elves, and even Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

The Christmas Carnival is a beloved annual tradition in our series, and this is our first one since 2019. Be sure to bring all your family and friends out for this much-anticipated opportunity to see these classic and now-rare cartoons the way they were meant to be seen—projected on 'reel' film, and enjoyed with a physical audience!

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