Wednesday, October 22Some of the world's best animated shorts, old and new, come together in The Animation Show, a collection hand-selected by Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill mastermind Mike Judge and Academy Award-nominated animator Don Hertzfeldt. The toons will be shown today in Muenzinger Auditorium, on the CU-Boulder campus, as part of the school's International Film Series. Included works span the scope of animation techniques, ranging from an excerpt from Disney's Mars and Beyond, animated by the legendary Ward Kimball in the late '50s, to new digital 3-D films from Poland and Ireland; Judge and Hertzfeldt both have films in the mix, as well. In addition, Hertzfeldt appears in person, along with voice actor Rob May, at tonight's 8 p.m. screening (admission, $5 to $7); the run then continues nightly at 7 and 9 p.m. through October 26 ($3 to $4).
