7:30pm - FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAiNFOREST (1991)
COME CELEBRATE THE 20th ANNIVERSARY!
Written by Jim Cox; Directed by Bill Kroyer
Containing the voices of: Tim Curry, Christian Slater, Samantha Mathis, Robin Williams, Cheech & Chong, Tone Loc

This surprisingly progressive and charming kids flick was overlooked by many due to it's head to head battle with Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Celebrating FERNGULLY's 20th Annversary, MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS is proud to be honor this little film that inspired the biggest grossing film of all-time, James Cameron's AVATAR. (Remember, Disney's POCAHONTAS came out in 1995 meaning it too is probably a knock-off of FERNGULLY!) Utilizing early computer animation in Australia, the film is exactly the type of mature cartoon cinema that paved the road for Pixar. Brace yourself for unstoppable hilarity from the voices of Tim Curry, Robin Williams (pre-ALLADiN!) and Cheech & Chong as well the cast of the 1991 teen-cult classic PUMP UP THE VOLUME, Christian Slater & Samantha Mathis! Bring the kids out to the first theatrical screening in 20 years! Preceded by trailers of more underrated cartoon cinema! Original 35mm print courtesy of Criterion Pictures. 75min.

Written & Directed by Elaine May
Containing: Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty, Isabelle Adjani & Charles Grodin

Unfairly obliterated upon it's original release in 1987, Elaine May's tribute to Bob Hope "road" pictures has been dying for a rerelease for 25 years! Dustin Hoffman & Warren Beatty play a couple of "smucks" who desperately want to become famous singer/songwriters at the age of 40. Paving the road for our modern era's "bro-mances", come be baffled why so many people unfairly bashed this poignant screwball comedy which now many consider one of the best comedies of the decade!
