BEFORE WALT TODAY:
A lecture & Screening with animation historian RAY POINTER.
In commemoration of the Centennial of American Animation, ASIFA-Hollywood proudly presents BEFORE WALT, a documentary showcase produced and narrated by Ray Pointer.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of animated cartoons. While the concept is as old as time, the most important advancements were made in the United States during the 20th Century. And without question, the three most important figures of this period were Winsor McCay, Max Fleischer, and Walt Disney. This one hour program will follow the development of animated cartoons from the earliest concepts to the many milestones that influenced Disney in his formative years.
Special bonus material - not on DVD anywhere - will be screened. Don't miss this rare showing of vintage animation.
