Animation Cel-a-bration at Playland-Not-at-the-Beach

Description

March 2 – 3
Animation Cel-a-bration Weekend
Before Real 3-D and CGI, groups of dedicated craftsmen produced works of art with brush and pen on cels. Relive the magic of these animated classics and learn about the traditional techniques behind them. Animation artist and teacher Steve Segal, who has worked on such modern animated masterpieces as Toy Story, A Bug's Life and The Brave Little Toaster, will be on hand to provide unique insight into the techniques and history of films that were paintings come to life, modern art masterpieces rendered on celluloid. You'll see 'toons in a whole new light!

The special events of Animation Cel-a-bration Weekend are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach is a nonprofit Museum of Fun. Designed and built entirely by volunteers, the 20+ interactive exhibits celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements -- circuses, carnivals, magic, side shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art everywhere. Our goal is to educate newer generations about the bygone days and allow those who remember Whitney's Playland and the Sutro Baths the opportunity to recapture the glorious sights and sounds of that marvelous era.
