Step into the magical beginnings of animated cinema as C5 invites you to the first in our 2026 classic film screening line-up: Once Upon an Animation.
This special evening celebrates the origins and evolution of animation on the big screen, featuring two landmark films that forever changed cinema:
🎞 Steamboat Willie
🎞 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
From the earliest experiments with synchronized sound to the first full-length animated feature, this program traces how animation grew from playful innovation into a powerful storytelling art form. Along the way, audiences will gain historical context and insight into the techniques, creativity, and cultural impact behind these beloved classics.
Costume Contest!
To make the night even more magical, we’re hosting a costume contest—so come dressed as your favorite Disney character (or characters!). Costumes are encouraged for all ages, whether you go full fairytale or subtle Disneybounding.
What to Expect:
• Classic animation on the big screen
• Film history and contextual storytelling
• A fun, community-focused atmosphere
• Costume contest and themed celebration
This event marks the beginning of C5’s renewed mission to carry forward the legacy of Carson City’s classic cinema tradition through curated screenings, themed programming, and shared love of film.
