Opening of THE ANIMATION SHOW 4 July 4, 2008

Mike Judge’s international collection of his favorite animated short films. Bay Area Engagements July 4-10, 2008

THE ANIMATION SHOW 4 is back with its fourth all-new collection of incredible animated shorts. This year Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space) has gathered together over two dozen of his favorite funny short films from around the world. While this isn’t a dirty “adults only” animation show, the program does skew towards a mature audience with some explicit language and adult subject matter. We’re proud to be the first to theatrically share the work of Steve Dildarian (HBO’s The Life and Times of Tim), Dave Carter (Psychotown) and Smith & Foulkes (premiering their new short This Way Up). Also featured: works from world renowned animation college Gobelins and other new favorites from Mathew Walker (Operator and John & Karen), Bill Plympton, Corky Quakenbush and Pes, with a lot more surprises to be announced!

“With its passionate mix of creativity and computers, this modern golden age of animation proceeds to entertain and astound with each passing year.” – Patrick McDonald, Hollywood Chicago

“There really is something for everyone here.” – Glenn Whipp, LA Daily News

“Bill Plympton also has a new short, and if that doesn’t excite you, you haven’t been paying attention. Go watch more cartoons.” -- Luke Y. Thompson, LA Weekly
