2/9 @ 8:00pm / Series: Jerry Beck's Animation Tuesdays Toonstruck: Cartoons In Love
In the cartoon world, marriage is not exclusively for one man and one woman. It can be between two mice, two wabbits, even a skunk and a pussy-cat! Animation historian Jerry Beck (Cartoon Brew.com) opens the film vault and presents a collection of love-obsessed cartoon classics starring all your favorites -- from the sex-starved Pepe LePew, to Tex Avery’s luscious Red Riding Hood. As usual, the program features rare 35mm and 16mm Technicolor film prints -- cartoons suitable for cartoon lovers of all ages! Bring a date, and don’t be late!

For ladies who want it wider and guys who like it longer, this month our resident animation historian Jerry Beck will screen a collection of classic cartoons from the 1950s which were made in various anamorphic widescreen formats. The majority of these cartoons have not been projected in their original screen ratios since their first release –- and will include Disney’s Oscar-winning Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom and Terrytoons’ classic Juggler of Our Lady (narrated by Boris Karloff, designed by R.O. Blechman.) Rarely seen on the big screen, Jerry will expand your animated horizons in CinemaScope, MetroScope, TotalVision and SuperPanaoramaUltraScope! A once in a lifetime presentation -- Mr. Magoo, Tom & Jerry, Donald Duck, will never look the same!
