Saturday Afternoon Cartoons: School is Cool
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Multiple Dirs
1950 / 60min / 16mm
Saturday Afternoon Cartoons is New York City’s prime theatrical showcase of early and classic animated cartoons, shown in vintage 16mm film prints from the personal archives of historian Tommy José Stathes. Beginning more than 25 years ago as a casual effort to find and see early cartoons that were unavailable on home video, Stathes’s collection has grown to become one of the largest of its kind. It includes many titles and ‘orphan films’ that are difficult to access or view elsewhere.
Stathes joins Metrograph in late September with School is Cool, a selection of vintage animated shorts that focus on education and learning. Come enjoy a grumpy farmer's foray into running a schoolhouse; an overgrown duckling's disastrous chemistry lesson; a foolish fish playing hooky; a jazz-age retelling of Mary's Little Lamb; and other fun tales. Spanning the 1930s through the ’50s, this assortment showcases classic characters such as Farmer Alfalfa, Little Lulu, Gumby, Baby Huey, and others.
Featuring introduction and Q&A with Stathes on Saturday, September 20th.
