THE SATURDAY MORNING ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT-CEREAL CARTOON PARTY

description

Remember Saturday mornings? Kids today may not realize the significance of the Saturday morning ritual, but once upon a time, we had to wait a whole week to get our cartoon fix, and when we got it, we tended to binge. In that gleefully gluttonous spirit, the Calgary Underground Film Festival presents a 3-hour trip down memory lane with a tribute to the eye-popping, brain-addling Saturday morning cartoons of yore, complete with a smorgasbord of delicious sugary cereals (and yes, we have soy too!) You’ll see both faves and obscurities spanning the 60s through the 80s, all punctuated with
vintage commercials and PSAs! The lineup is always a secret, but there will be sci-fi , monsters, crime-solving, hot dogs, kid power, bubblegum bands and general nonsense galore! So get ready for a sugar rush and an explosion of nostalgia all wrapped up in one candy-coated package.

DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF THIS EVENT WE HAVE EXPANDED TO TWO THEATRES!!
NOW DOUBLE THE FUN!  Jammies Encouraged!

ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT CEREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
