                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 exhibition now available.

"That's All Folks!" is a comprehensive 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 said
in its review of the exhibition's catalogue: "Life in these United
States would be inconceivable without the shared referent of Bugs Bunny,
Tweety and Sylvester, the Road Runner and the Coyote, the Tasmanian
Devil, Marvin the Martian, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam," and the other
classic Warner characters.

Since their debut in 1930, the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" of
Warner Bros. have delighted audiences young and old with their wit and
suprising sophistication.  Indeed, the pre-eminence of the Warner
studio was certified by a recent "People" magazine poll, in which the
magazine's readership named Bugs Bunny as "Best puppet or cartoon
character."  Just two Warner characters -- Bugs and the Road Runner --
captured 24% of the vote.

Further, in recent years the seven-minute cartoons have earned both
critical and popular acclaim as America's finest, funniest and most
inventive animated shorts.  Evidence of this came in 1985, when Warner
Bros. became the first cartoon-makers of any kind to be given a
full-scale retrospective by New York's Museum of Modern Art.

The four-month exhibition proved extremely popular, generating more
press response for MoMA's film department than any other show it has
undertaken.

Originally shown in theaters, the Warner shorts developed new audiences
with the rise of television in the 1950's.  Many people under the age of
45 have seen these cartoons literally hundreds of times as they were
growing up.  Yet most of these viewers are unfamiliar with the actual
artwork from which these films were created.

"That's All Folks!" is a greatly expanded version of the MoMA show.  It
consists of over 160 drawings, paintings, "cels," and related art
objects used in the making of Warner's classic cartoons, concentrating
on the studio's "Golden Age" -- roughly 1935 through 1955.

Text panels and other interpretive elements explore Warner cartoons'
role in the history of American culture, and trace the development of
all the studio's cartoon stars.  One section of the exhibition shows how
classic "cel" animation was made, using actual production artwork to
illustrate every step of the process.

The size of the show is highly flexible, as the exhibition's
approximately 80 frames can be spread out or bunched together easily.
Moreover, laser disks are available, if museums care to supplement the
show with any number of video monitors as would be desired, to present
finished cartoons on-site.  The wondrous music, voices and sound-effects
associated with Warner cartoons makes this a hugely lively installation.
All told, the show is most comfortable is spaces ranging from 2,500 to
4,000 square feet.

A North American tour is now being planned.  The show is available
starting in January 2000, and through at least the year 2002.  For more
