- **Event Description**: Lost and Found Cartoons with Jerry Beck
Special Features: Presented by animation historian Jerry Beck

A fantastic showcase of recent restorations and rediscoveries from the golden age of animation, this program highlights the work of legendary rivals of Walt Disney — Max Fleischer, Paul Terry and Ub Iwerks — alongside forgotten gems and milestones from animation history. Curated by renowned cartoon historian Jerry Beck (author of more than 15 books on animation), the lineup features rare shorts that chart the evolution of the art form: the birth of iconic characters, ambitious series that never quite found their audience and bold experiments with early color and sound technologies. With Jerry Beck’s insightful introductions, you will get behind-the-scenes context on the creators, innovations and cultural impact of these animated treasures. All the cartoons were originally made for movie theaters, and this is a rare opportunity to experience them as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen. A must for animation lovers and classic film fans alike!
