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!
If you can believe it, this will be our 100th Cartoon Carnival program. In celebration of this incredible milestone, we're hosting two back-to-back programs of party and celebration-themed cartoons. You'll be sure to see some familiar faces like Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, Porky Pig; various early animation Carnival mainstays such as Farmer Alfalfa, Bobby Bumps and Koko the Clown, and a whole host of others...

Note: Our 6pm program will also feature the live ragtime musical stylings of our esteemed pianist friend Charlie Judkins!
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 will available (typically regular and vegetarian hot dogs, possibly also hamburgers). Please support the venue for all drinks consumed. Bar/food are *cash only.*
