There are many ways to beat the July heat much of the world is experiencing, most involving guzzling copious quantities of ice-cold drinks, but this Sunday evening the brisk-brisk-brisk cool down involves watching classic cartoons on the big screen.
On July 24, 2022 at 7:00 pm, in the balmy summer evening air, The Cartoon Carnival series returns to Brooklyn's City Reliquary.
Vintage silent and early sound era animation, seen on glorious 16mm with an enthusiastic audience, shall reign supreme.
Here's the promotional trailer for Sunday's show, Cartoon Carnival #101: Shopaholics:
The press release adds:
This is a rain date for our May Cartoon Carnival, which had been cancelled. Now that we'll finally enjoy the 101st Cartoon Carnival program, get ready for something we've never featured before: Commerce, retail, and shopping-themed cartoons. Shop 'til you drop—vicariously—through some classic characters like Betty Boop, Popeye, Little Lulu, Heckle & Jeckle, and others!
Be sure to bring all your family and friends out to see these classic and now-rare cartoons the way they were meant to be seen—projected on 'reel' film, and enjoyed with a physical audience.
As this installment will be shopping themed, we'll also have a small tag sale of cartoony items in order to raise some extra funds for film archiving costs. You'll find all sorts of fun and vintage goodies available for your own collections, or to give as gifts!
And, as part of our opening Half-Happy Hour, the Reliquary will have bar refreshments available. You may bring your own food to this event, but please support the venue for all drinks consumed on the premises. Bar is cash only.
Happy Hour and Tag Sale: 7:00pm
Seating & Opening Remarks: 7:30pm
Show: 7:45pm-9:45pm
