Once again, it’s a children’s holiday, film-wise, here in our lovely city. Saturday at 10:15, the library‘s showing the lovely Horton Hears A Who (1966) and Sneetches and Zax (1972). Both films are light years better than the horrible, hateful Jim Carrey and Mike Myers vehicles of the past few years. The two cartoons are the creation of Chuck Jones and Fritz Freling (respectively), two of the geniuses in the Warner Bros. stable (Jones also directed the superior Grinch cartoon). Wendy Knox will be telling stories before the show.
Sunday at 2, Cine-Kids, the Alliance Francaise children’s film program, will be screening Loulou et Autres Loups, which I would gladly take in if I could speak a word of French (no subtitles here). These nifty animated shorts “hope to break stereotypes of the Big Bad Wolf.”
Yes, I am aware that cornucopia is spelled incorrectly.
