JERRY BECK'S ANIMATION TUESDAYS:
A Tribute To Fred Wolf
Tuesday, November 3rd | 8:00pm

Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know -- but the man behind this classic commercial does, and will be here to explain it all. Animator Fred Wolf collaborated with Harry Nilsson to create The Point, with Frank Zappa to produce 200 Motels, and with Peter Yarrow to make Puff The Magic Dragon. He's the man behind the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series, Marlo Thomas' TV special Free To Be You And Me, the animated feature The Mouse And His Child, and won an Oscar for his short The Box. He even hand-animated the iconic opening sequence to The Flintstones! Animation historian Jerry Beck will present a tribute to Wolf, with rare clips from his movies, TV shows and vintage 1960s commercials, and present a live on stage interview with Wolf himself, as he discusses his career in film, and his relationships with his famous collaborators. Free Tootsie Pops to the first 100 admitted!

Tickets - $13

WHAT IS THE CINEFAMILY?
The Cinefamily is an organization of movie lovers devoted to finding and presenting interesting and unusual programs of exceptional, distinctive, weird and wonderful films. The Cinefamily's goal is to foster a spirit of community and a sense of discovery, while reinvigorating the movie-going experience. Like campfires, sporting events and church services, we believe that movies work best as social experiences. They are more meaningful, funnier and scarier when shared with others.
