Off the Screen: World Animation Day

Come to the Exploratorium October 30th to celebrate International Animation Day with amusing and inventive works from all around the world. Dice, graph paper, rolls of scotch tape, and even a couple of guys with crazy facial hair are fodder for stop-motion animation wizardry in the Pupf-Phew! program. Chicken eggs will dazzle you, a snarky dog will tickle your funny bone, and those pieces of cardboard that you put out for recycling . . . well, they're alive!
