Birds Are Prey screening
2019-Jul-02 @ 19:30 - 20:50
The Dryden will screen a program titled Birds Are Prey as part of the Warner Bros. Animation series.
One of the enduring Warner Bros. animation devices is to put a fowl friend in trouble with a predator. Here, the Road Runner, Tweety Bird, and Foghorn Leghorn evade evisceration in a program of shorts that include: Home, Tweet Home (Friz Freleng, 1950), Tweety's S.O.S. (Freleng, 1951), A Street Cat Named Sylvester (Freleng, 1953), Little Boy Boo (Robert McKimson, 1954), Dog Pounded (Freleng, 1954), Ready.. Set.. Zoom! (Chuck Jones, 1955), Tugboat Granny (Freleng, 1956), Tweety and the Beanstalk (Freleng, 1957), Greedy for Tweety (Freleng, 1957), Whoa, Be-Gone! (Jones, 1958), Fastest with the Mostest (Jones, 1960), and a dance-happy Porky Pig in his last solo cartoon, The Wearing of the Grin (Jones, 1951).
