The Weird World of Bill Plympton at The Eastman House<\/strong><\/p>\n

All month long, the Eastman House’s Dryden Theatre is showing classic cartoons and highlighting the works of New York independent animator Bill Plympton. There’s just a few shows left, including the following:<\/p>\n

Thursday, September 22nd, 8:00 pm Plympton Short Films<\/strong><\/p>\n

A showcase of Bill Plympton\u2019s short films, ranging from his classic earlier works Your Face and 25 Ways to Quit Smoking to some of his most recent films, including The Cow Who Wanted to Be a Hamburger, The Fan and the Flower, and the Oscar\u00ae-nominated Guard Dog series.<\/p>\n

Thursday, September 29th, 8:00 pm Adventures in Plymptoons!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This new documentary about Bill Plympton follows his path from a Portland childhood spent drawing indoors to a self-made career as an independent animator and cartoonist. Featuring interviews with Terry Gilliam, Ralph Bakshi, Will Vinton, and other animation luminaries.<\/p>\n

Saturday, October 1st, 8:00 pm Legendary Animator Bill Plympton in Person! Idiots and Angels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel is a selfish, abusive man who awakens to discover himself blessed with a pair of wings. At first frustrated by his new appendages, he soon must battle those who wish to exploit them. Plympton\u2019s new feature is a dark, gorgeous fable, featuring soundtrack contributions from Tom Waits, Pink Martini, and others.<\/p>\n
