Loveable Creature Features
10:30am CLASSIC ANIMAL TRACKS and CREATURE FEATURES shorts collection, 42 min
Produced by the BBC and presented in conjunction with Cinemuse, CLASSIC ANIMAL TRACKS is like a jungle video jukebox! The world’s favorite songs by the original artists are combined with beautiful images and thoughtful captions on a variety of animals. Beaks, eyes, feathers and scales, lumps, bumps, legs and tails! CREATURE FEATURES is an outrageously fun collection of shorts highlighting the good, the bad, and sometimes the very ugly features of our favorite animals.
1:30pm THE MUPPET MOVIE d. James Frawley, 95 min, 1979
When Kermit the Frog’s talents are discovered while singing in a swamp, he decides to test his luck in Hollywood. Along the way, he picks up the very funny, Fozzie the Bear and the very eager, Miss Piggy. THE MUPPET MOVIE was the first and arguable the best in a series of live-action musical features starring the Muppets. In 1992, the creator, Jim Henson was posthumously awarded the Courage of Conscience Award for being a "Humanitarian, muppeteer, producer and director of films for children that encourage tolerance, interracial values, equality and fair play.”
After each screening, construct your favorite animal puppet (or Muppet!!) in a special paperbag arts & crafts project.
