POPULAR EXHIBITION AVAILABLE

"THAT'S ALL FOLKS!  BUGS BUNNY AND FRIENDS OF WARNER BROS. CARTOONS"

The most popular cartoon characters in the United States -- and the
recipients of a four-month tribute at New York's Museum of Modern Art -- are
the subject of an art exhibition now available.

"That's All Folks!" is an overview of Warner Bros. cartoons, the Hollywood
animation studio that gave birth to characters who have become part of
American folklore.  As The New York Times noted in its review of the
exhibition's catalogue: "Life in these United States would be inconceivable
without the shared referent of" the great Warner characters: Bugs Bunny,
Tweety and Sylvester, the Road Runner and the Coyote, the Tasmanian Devil,
Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, Yosemite Sam, and many others.

The exhibition consists of over 160 original artworks -- drawings, "cels,"
paintings, and related artifacts -- used in making "Looney Tunes" and
"Merrie Melodies" from the classic era, the 1930's through the early 1960's.
Also available are finished videos, for viewing the completed cartoons on-site.

Warner Bros. cartoons have earned both critical and popular acclaim as the
finest and funniest animated shorts to come from Hollywood's Golden Age.
Evidence of this came when Warner Bros. became the first cartoon-makers of
any kind to be given a full-scale retrospective at MoMA.  The current
exhibition is a much-expanded version of the MoMA show; it traces the
development of all of Warner's cartoon stars and explores the techniques
through which traditional "cel" animation is made.  Works by all of Warner's
major directors -- Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Friz Freleng, and Bob Clampett,
now considered the giants of American animated filmmakers -- are richly
represented.
