The historic Everett Theater in Everett, WA is hosting the first ever 2D OR NOT 2D Festival November 17th-19th.

The Animaticus Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, teaching, and evolving the art of traditional animation in a digital age, is proud to present the “2D OR NOT 2D Animated Film Festival” at the historical Everett Theater in Everett, Washington.

Keynote speakers include Roy E Disney (who will present a retrospective of award-winning and/or break-through Disney short films from “Steamboat Willie” to “Lorenzo”), and cartoonist Tom Wilson of Ziggy fame.

NW Film Forum and Cinema K are proud to present the Gumby 50th Anniversary Celebration from Friday, October 20th through Thursday, October 26th.
For 50 years, Gumby has been the small green clay conduit to the mind-boggling skill and creative spirit of pioneering animator Art Clokey. This 50th Anniversary celebration of Clokey’s work features a walk through the decades with beloved animated characters Gumby, Pokey, the Blockheads, Groobee, and Davey and Goliath as well as other early, rarely seen works by Clokey, including GUMBASIA, arguably the first music video, television commercials from the 1950s, and the magnificent 1977art film MANDALA. This program will amuse audiences of all ages and offer awe-inspiring revelations to anyone passionate about the art and history of animation.

Join them on Opening Night, October 20, 8 pm and meet Gumby, Joe Clokey, Al Eggleston (Gumby’s original art diector) and Bill Webb (Art Clokey’s best friend and lifelong collaborator!)

This animation is a collaboration of Plexipixel’s Matt Rodriguez, Le Merde, Shawn Wolfe and Darick Chamberlain.
