It is no secret the great cartoons of yesteryear are now ruined. Many are banned. Reg Hartt offers a unique chance to see them as their creators meant us to. This is Bugs Bunny with balls. Programs are introduced by Hartt. Here is what some have to say: John Kricfalusi: "I hope Reg continues to inspire young artists." Emo Philips: "Reg is the greateast teacher I know." Chuck Jones: "Reg's love for animation is proven by his work preserving and presenting our films as we made them." Programs 7:00 pm Saturday & Sunday thru September. A damn good reason to visit Toronto. Be there.

Told at the start of his animation career to make his films as much like Disney as possible Avery decided the only person the public wanted to see do that was Walt.
In a medium where the single most often used word is "thatsnewtakeitout" Avery was a revolutionary.

He still is. Only uncensored prints will be shown.

8pm Wednesday, September 17, 24, Oct. 1, 2003.

P.S. Animators looking to get your films shown in Toronto are invited to get in touch.

Like actors and dancers, animators craft expression through movement. Laban Movement Analysis can help animators understand what makes movement expressive. Knowing how to create meaning through movement can help animators clarify the intent of their animated characters, create dramatic impact and enhance story through dynamic character acting.



This is an invitation to animators, inbetweeners, character designers, mocap directors, art directors, game and level designers who work with movement of the human figure and have a strong interest in pushing the expressiveness of their characters further.
