Bill Plympton’s Peculiar and Sublime World of Animated Film

Join us for an evening with Bill Plympton, one of the most notable creators of animated film with both main-stream success and oddball appeal. Well established as an illustrator and cartoonist since the 1970s, he is best known for his animated short films, garnering an Academy Award nomination (Your Face), the Prix Spécial du Jury at Cannes (Push Comes to Shove), as well as being regularly featured on MTV’s Animania and Liquid Television series. The evening will include a screening of The Tune, Mr. Plympton’s first feature-length animated film musical (1992) about Del, a song writer for the obnoxious Mr. Mega. In love with Didi, Mega’s secretary, Del’s quest to write a hit tune brings him to the strange world of Flooby Nooby, where he just might learn to write songs from the heart.
