Moving Pictures
Saturday morning cartoons turn high art at Watch Me Move: The Animation Show.
The exhibit is 111 works of moving art covering two floors and five galleries starting with slides and prints created in the 1800s breezing through 1960s and The Flintstones and taking us right up to Lord of the Rings with visits by Betty Boop and Snow White along the way.
This largest survey of animation work ever mounted explores the medium that invents superheroes, deftly provokes social commentary, and constantly pushes the limits of technology. —Jaelyn Molyneux
