PACIFIC CINÉMATHÈQUE'S CINEMA SUNDAY presents

Max & Dave Fleischer's MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN (1941)

The Pacific Cinémathèque Education Department presents a rare screening of Max and Dave Fleischer’s 1941 classic animated feature, MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN, on Sunday 16 January 2011 at 1:00 PM. This is a very special occasion to experience one of the classic animated films from the Golden Age of Hollywood animation with a restored 35mm print – direct from the vaults of Paramount Pictures – projected on a big screen, as this movie was meant to be seen! Vancouver film history teacher and film critic, Michael van den Bos, will be introducing this second and last animated feature by Max and Dave Fleischer (their first animated feature was 1939’s GULLIVER’S TRAVELS), famous for bringing the cartoons of Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor and Superman to the silver screen in the 1930s and 1940s. This special screening of MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN is for the whole family, so bring your kids along and introduce them to the wonder of some of the finest hand-drawn animation ever created for the movies.
