Animation historian Adam Abraham (author of When Magoo Flew: The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA) will be doing a UPA talk and book signing at the New York Public Library’s Lincoln Center branch on Thursday December 6th at 6pm.
The format will be an illustrated lecture on the history of the UPA studio, with a screening of a handful of Columbia shorts (digital projection) and some rare behind-the-scenes footage (including the 50s documentary A Princess for Magoo).
This program is part of a Meet The Scholar series at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center, located at 40 Lincoln Center Plaza. Admission is free. For more information, please check the library’s website.
If you are planning to buy the two sets of UPA cartoons that Jerry posted about, you would do well to also pick up the forthcoming history of the UPA studio, When Magoo Flew: The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA
by Adam Abraham. As far as I know, the book and the DVDs weren’t planned together, but the stars are aligned, and one of the most important yet neglected animation studios of all time is ripe for rediscovery in 2012.
I’ve already read Adam’s book and I’m happy to report that he gets it absolutely right. The research is impeccable, the writing solid, the story fascinating. Though the book includes over 70 illustrations, it’s more narrative history than coffeetable art book, but that’s hardly an issue anymore thanks to the two companion DVD sets that contain UPA’s entire theatrical short output. The 324-page When Magoo Flew will be released by Wesleyan University Press next March. Place your pre-order on Amazon for a mere $20.
