The Land Before Time
2017-02-04 - 2017-02-05 | Metrograph, No.7 Ludlow Street , New York, NY, 10002, United States

A hit for producer Steven Spielberg and animator Bluth, the biggest domestic rival to Walt Disney in the feature game since the days of the Fleischer Bros., it’s ripe to be discovered by a new generation of young viewers.

It’s time to sit back and cross your fingers while we inaugurate a whole new season of Cartoon Carnivals! There’s another hefty batch of 16mm (no digital!) animated cartoons from the 1910s to the 1940s, straight from the Stathes Archives to the silver screen at Shoestring Press, in store for all…
In celebration of the much maligned Friday the 13th, we’ll be kicking 2017 off with all kinds of ancient cartoon accidents, tragedies, supestitions, bad luck, and anything else that falls into the category of an animated “hot mess.” Bring your friends, but make sure not to break any mirrors or walk under any ladders on the way over.
The delightful poster for this event was designed by Katie Fricas. Follow & support! https://www.instagram.com/cartoonfricassee/

Start the New Year off by joining us for our first edition of Bring Your Own Animation of 2017!
Here’s your chance to share what you’ve been working on with the rest of the NYC-area digital media community – and to check out what others have been doing. Come and meet other animators, exchange tips and ideas, maybe even find a future collaborator. We’ll be hooking up a Mac laptop to the flat-screen so bring your work on a DVD or USB and we’ll play it. (We will not swap out the computer to play from another computer so make sure you can transfer it to our machine.)
We’ll be meeting in the room all the way at the back of the venue. Beverages and food will be available for purchase. If you do not have ID to prove you are 21 or older, you will not be allowed to purchase alcohol. College students between the ages of 18 and 20 are welcome to join us but anyone under the age of 21 that is found to be drinking will be asked to leave.

Bill Plympton's School of Animation

“BREAKING NEWS! I’m going to re-open the Plympton School of Animation for a two-month intensive course, starting in January. Starting on January 9, 2017, every Monday night from 6-8 pm, I’ll hold lectures at my studio about every phase of making short animated films, with drawing lessons and tips that I’ve learned from my 50-year career as an illustrator and filmmaker.
The curriculum will cover story ideas, storyboarding, character design, humor, the “Plympton Dogma”, post-production, festivals, distribution and crowd-funding, with guest lectures from my staff – so we’ll cover everything.
Capacity is very limited – for more information, please read the details and contact info posted on my blog (URL is below). But participants will get a signed degree and the experience needed to make their own animated films!
For anyone who can’t make it to New York to attend the course in person, we are also offering an online version. Details and contact info are posted on my blog
