Report on Kimba 40th Aniversary Goodies:

One of the things discussed at last Wednesday`s ASIFA board meeting was some of the goodies that will be for sale at the November 10th Kimba 40th Anniversary Celebration. We got to look at faxed pages of a full-color book coming to us from Des Moines, Iowa, via Melbourne, Australia. It looks to be a treasure and the only place it will be available in the United States, outside of full 'Kimba' DVD box sets, will be at the Kimba Anniversary Celebration on November 10th. Centerpiece of the colorful book is a meticulously researched chronology called "How Kimba Came To Be", compiled & written by Fred Patten and Robin Leyden, edited by Fred Ladd. "Kimba, The White Lion" was acquired from Mushi Production, Japan, in 1965 and distributed here by NBC Enterprises.

But that book is not the coolest treasure. There is also a complete filmography of Kimba with synopses of every one of the 52 episodes in the Series, synopses written forty years ago by the writers of the English adaptations themselves. This filmography, tucked away since 1966 in NBC archives, will be available only at the ASIFA-Hollywood Kimba 40th Anniversary

All profits from this event will go to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive project. So dig deep, you will be supporting a good cause.

Tickets are $6 for ASIFA-Hollywood members, $8 for non-members.
