CLASSIC CARTOONS ON THE BIG SCREEN

When was the last time you saw 35mm prints of Bugs Bunny and pals projected in an actual movie theater? Most kids only know these cartoons from TV, but they take on a whole new life when projected on the big screen.

This hilarious collection of Western send-ups from the golden age of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies features splendid work from the acclaimed auteurs of “Termite Terrace.” EGGHEAD RIDES AGAIN (Tex Avery, 1937, 35mm); SCALP TROUBLE (Bob Clampett, 1939, 35mm nitrate print); THE LONE STRANGER AND PORKY (Bob Clampett, 1939, 35mm nitrate print); DRIP-ALONG DAFFY (Chuck Jones, 1951, 35mm); BUGS BUNNY RIDES AGAIN (Friz Freleng, 1948, 35mm); PUNY EXPRESS (Walter Lantz/Dick Lundy, 1951, 35mm) plus two of Tex Avery’s best from his years at MGM: DEPUTY DROOPY (1955, 35mm) and THE FIRST BAD MAN (1955, 35mm).
