UPA Cartoons

This program of Saturday morning cartoons is a rare treat for all ages! Although the name UPA (United Productions of America) might not be as synonymous with Hollywood animation as Disney or Warner Bros., the studio produced some of the most stylish and influential cartoons of midcentury. This program features several of the studio's best-loved cartoons, including Gerald McBoing-Boing (1951), Madeline (1952), and Spellbound Hound (1950), which features UPA's biggest star, Mr. Magoo. (program approx. 50 mins., 35mm)

This film is recommended for ages 4 and up.
