More Lost and Found Cartoons
Presented by animation historian Jerry Beck
A showcase of recent restorations and rediscoveries from the golden age of animation, this program highlights the work of Walt Disney’s legendary rivals — Walter Lantz, Max Fleischer, Isadore “I.” Sparber, Hugh Harman and Isadore “Friz” Freleng — alongside forgotten gems and milestones from animation history. Curated by renowned cartoon historian Jerry Beck (author of more than 15 books on animation), the lineup features rare shorts charting the evolution of the art form: the birth of iconic characters, ambitious series that never took off and bold experiments that pushed the medium forward. Jerry’s insightful introductions offer behind-the-scenes context on the innovations, cultural impact and creators of these animated treasures. All the cartoons were originally made for movie theaters — this is a rare chance to experience them as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen. A must for animation lovers and classic film fans alike!.
