As they say during the depression, movies and entertainment is a great way to get your mind off of things if only for a little while. Here are some upcoming events coming up with cartoons that should be worth highlighting for this upcoming week.
First up, if you live in the Wheeling, WV area, the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay Park will light up once again ringing in the holiday season Thursday night at around 6:15pm. While not entirely cartoon related, there are some displays featuring Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang.
On Friday, Viz Media will be holding their annual Moonlight Party to celebrate the upcoming blu-ray of Sailor Moon S. The party begins at around 8:30pm ET and will last until about 10:30pm. The Party will feature clips from the newly dubbed Sailor Moon S and hopefully some Sailor Moon news.
Speaking of sailors.......the original "sailor guardian" will be taking the TV airwaves for a little while. Two of Max Fleischer's Popeye the Sailor featurettes will air on TCM at 8pm ET. Popeye the Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor and Popeye the Sailor meets Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves will be a part of the program, with Sinbad not only gaining an Academy Award nomination, but also considered along with Ali Baba as some of the greatest cartoons ever made.
Finally, on Tuesday Viz Media will be releasing the long awaited released of Sailor Moon S the way it should be....uncut and with a brand new dub preserving the relationships between Sailors Uranus and Neptune.....I'll be doing another blog post, maybe, on this blu-ray in the near future.
