Fooled By A Feeling!

Description

Oddball Films and guest curator Emily Schleiner present Fooled By A Feeling!, an evening of films about self-fulfilling prophecies, wacky prejudice, and, ultimately, the process of making difficult choices. Featuring excerpts from Optimist-Pessimist: Which Are You?, an edited version of the 1975 Pollyanna story. Watch the fabulous animated musical Dr. Seuss on the Loose: The Sneetches, The Zax, and Green Eggs and Ham (1973), a classic bundle of stories that deal with themes like prejudice, materialism, and compromise, vocals by Allan Sherman. See Square Pegs, Round Holes (1974) a kooky animation about a walking and talking peg searching for a niche to call home! Will he settle for a less than ideal situation? In The Superstition of the Black Cat (1934) a couple takes the long way home after a cat crosses their path. Will their fearful predictions come true after they turn around and recount a myth about black cats? Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are down on their luck in the film One Good Turn (1933), living in a shantytown and going door-to-door begging for work. Will things go well for them if they get one good turn?! Finally, see a 70’s documentary called Human Image: What is the Good Life?, a hilariously dated query into the lives of everyday people. Be impressed by the excellent mustaches and bellbottoms!

Plus! Watch an arrogant lion eat his words when he ends up needing help from a mere mouse in the animated short The Lion and the Mouse (1959). Whether you want to see funky animations, or a slapstick black and white, there is something here for everyone!
