See dual-35mm prints of all the 3D cartoons produced back in the golden age of animation: Boo Moon with Casper, Popeye The Ace of Space, Disney's Melody, Donald Duck in Working For Peanuts, Woody Woodpecker in Hypnotic Hick, Bugs Bunny in Chuck Jones' Lumber Jack Rabbit. 
The program will also include RKO's stop motion Motor Rhythm (originally produced for the 1939 NY World's Fair), the oddball stop-mo Adventures of Sam Space, Norman McLaren's Now is the Time, plus a few unannounced surprises.
