DISCLAIMERHistorical films and animated cartoons occasionally included content that is recognizably racist and sexist. Exaggeratedly bigoted imagery was far more commonplace in pop culture and regularly consumed by the general public at the time. The films included in these retrospective programs are shown as historic period pieces; they may contain instances of such material, but are at times nevertheless included for thematic reasons and educational purposes. The contents of these films do not reflect the views or values of the exhibitor or host, and we do not condone or excuse these flawed sentiments—we simply acknowledge them as a real part of our history, and propose that they serve as a reminder of problems that are still ever-present in our world. By purchasing a viewing ticket and viewing the program, you acknowledge and accept that the program may contain material of this kind.

Cartoon Carnival #94: Betty Turns 90
Saturday, 8/15/20 at 3pm EDT The Tommy Stathes Cartoon Carnival, going strong since 2009, is up to program #94 this month—and it's being presented in online streaming form, for all the world to enjoy. Every program is a surprise selection of specially curated curiosities, with live hosting, that's sure to amuse. This installment is going to be an extra-long show! For our August program, we're celebrating Betty Boop's 90th birthday. It was in August of 1930 that Betty debuted in Dizzy Dishes; first in a more decidedly hybrid canine-human form, with long poodle-like ears. Not long after, Betty would soon evolve into the figure we've known and loved best: animation's first major female lead character, and the silver screen's famous animated sex symbol. Betty's worldwide celebrity has endured ever since. Venture deep into our archival offerings for over two hours of fun-filled classics and rarities. We're covering all periods of classic 1930s Betty: her salacious early adventures with sidekicks Bimbo and Koko the Clown; appearances with famous 1930s musicians in live action and rotoscoped form; and fun times with Betty's later cast: the inventive Grampy, her nephew Junior, and Betty's beloved little dog Pudgy. This program will provide a super rare opportunity to view a nearly-lost cartoon with Betty that hasn't been seen by general audiences in decades. We'll also be sharing archival footage and video featuring behind-the-scenes news items and interviews with some of the creatives involved in creating the character and ensuring her continued fame. Be prepared for a Cartoon Carnival that is longer than usual...with more cartoons than we normally show, and all these added archival bonuses! Join in watching Tommy thread up the old 16mm projector for a trip back in time, and a rare opportunity to enjoy these classic and now-rare cartoons the way they were meant to be seen—projected on a screen, in 'reel' film form. Stream begins at 3pm (EDT); introduction and films begin roughly 3:15pm. The entire program should last roughly 4 hours. Also: Please note that each guest buys a ticket at our physical New York City shows, and it is much needed support.
