>   Popular Traveling Exhibition Now Available
>
>
> The most popular cartoon characters in the United States -- and the
> recipients of a major exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art --
> are the subject of a new traveling exhibition now available.
>
> "That's All Folks!" is an overview of Warner Bros. cartoons, the
> Hollywood animation studio that gave birth to films and characters that
> 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 Bugs Bunny, The
> Road Runner and the Coyote, Tweety and Sylvester, The Tasmanian Devil,
> Marvin the Martian, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and Speedy Gonzales" -- to
> name only a few of Warner Bros.' internationally beloved characters.
>
> Produced since 1930, the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" of Warner
> Bros. have been acclaimed as the finest and funniest animated shorts
> ever made.  Further, they are known to virtually every American with a
> television set; indeed, most people under the age of 45 have seen Warner
> cartoons literally hundreds of times as they were growing up.  Yet the
> actual artwork from which these films were made is largely unknown.
>
> "That's All Folks!" is a comprehensive overview of the Warner cartoon
> studio, concentrating on the studio's "Golden Age," from 1938 to 1955;
> it consists of over 160 original drawings, paintings, "cels" and related
> artworks used in the making of the classic Warner shorts.  All of the
> studio's characters are represented, as are all of the studio's
> principal directors: Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett,
> and others.
>
> One section of the show provides a step-by-step breakdown of how classic
> "cel" animation is made, using actual production artwork from Warner
> shorts to illustrate every phase of the process.  Text panels and other
> interpretive material treats the history of Warner cartoons, and the
> studio's role in the history of American culture.
>
> A one-of-a-kind opportunity, the current exhibition is a greatly
> expanded version of the show that was presented for over four months at
> The Museum of Modern Art, where it was an immense critical and popular
> success.  A tour of the United States is now being planned; dates are
> available beginning immediately.
>
> The show's size is highly flexible, but it is most comfortable in areas
> of between 2,500 and 4,000 square feet.
>
> For more information, please call, in New York: (212)353-6042.  Queries
> sent to this internet site ([log in to unmask]) may require some time
> for a reply.

> That's All, Folks!
