There will be cartoons in Brooklyn this Sunday. Tommy Stathes has been hosting a series of monthly screenings in the New York City area called the Cartoon Carnival for 10 years. The 10th anniversary show is the 80th Cartoon Carnival program, holding forth at 389 Melrose Street Brooklyn, NY 11237. Pen-and-ink luminaries Betty Boop, Koko the Clown, Farmer Alfalfa, Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid and Bobby Bumps will be on hand, presented on the big screen via glorious 16mm film.
There will be two shows, at 4pm and 7pm. Buy tickets in advance via Brown Paper Tickets if you’re interested in attending.
There will also be cartoons in L.A. this Saturday, June 8th at 10am, at the New Beverly Cinema, at Beverly and LaBrea in Hollywood. Jerry Beck of the Cartoon Research website and author of numerous books on animation is curating a 35mm Cartoon Club screening. The following Tom & Jerry image expresses the Cartoon Club's theme for this month and gets me thinking of Esther Williams in Dangerous When Wet and Million Dollar Mermaid. Tickets are available at the door - and in advance here.

Postscript: after posting this, learned that there will also be a classic comedy program in NYC as part of The Silent Clowns Film Series. Laurel & Hardy 1929 shorts plus special guests will rock the house this Saturday at the Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center, 111 Amsterdam Ave, New York, New York 10023. Showtime is 2:30 p.m. That means the title of this post needs to be updated to FIVE Cool Screenings on TWO Coasts!
Whether in Brooklyn, New York City, Hollywood, Niles or San Leandro, we encourage our readers to check these shows out!
