  • The McBoing Boing Revolution: UPA Cartoons and the Selling of Fifties Cool

    • Sunday, September 26 5:30pm

    Illustrated Lecture by Russell Merritt. In the '50s, the UPA animation studio did it all: made hip, funny cartoons, braved the McCarthy witch hunts, and revolutionized animation design. Russell Merritt presents sparkling prints of cartoon masterpieces including the timely Hell-Bent for Election by Chuck Jones and a Surrealist Tell-Tale Heart narrated by James Mason.
