Cartoon Carnival: Shopaholics

The City Reliquary
370 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211, USA
Brooklyn

It’s time for another big batch of 16mm (no digital!) animated cartoons from the 1920s through the 1950s, straight from the Tommy José Stathes Archives—on the City Reliquary’s backyard silver screen!

For our 102nd Cartoon Carnival program, we’re shining the spotlight on a special group of Golden Age characters, all of whom belonged to a considerable minority: women with top billing! This is in collaboration with The City Reliquary’s newest exhibit, Wonder Women: NYC’s Heroes of Heterodoxy, which highlights the fascinating history of women’s tireless fight to break the chains of orthodoxy in NYC.

Starting with a sampling of some of the early Alice Comedies featuring a live-action little girl in a cartoon world, we’ll move along to the ‘big three’ headliners in this category of classic cartoon shorts: Betty Boop, Little Lulu, and Little Audrey. This barrier-breaking trio of headlining ladies will be joined by some of their cartoon colleagues of the period, such as Olive Oyl.

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.

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.*
