If you receive Turner Classic Movies, remember that this Sunday, October 21, they will be screening an evening of animation co-hosted by Jerry Beck of Cartoon Brew .  Films include the two Fleischer features Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town ; a selection of UPA Jolly Frolic cartoons; a selection of silent animation provided by historian Tom Stathes; and The Adventures of Prince Achmed , which is the oldest surviving animated feature as well as the first animated feature directed by a woman, Lotte Reineger .  You can find the complete schedule here and Beck has posted artwork associated with Gulliver and Mr. Bug on his site. If you are interested in hearing about how Beck connected up with TCM and learning more about the early days of film collecting, you can hear him on a podcast called The Commentary Track .

  Update : Jerry Beck, who will be co-hosting with TCM's Robert Osborne, has more details at Cartoon Brew . Sunday, October 21 is still a distance away, but Turner Classic Movies will be devoting their evening block to animation.  It starts with the two Fleischer features, Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town .  That's followed by six UPA cartoons (all available on the Jolly Frolics DVD set).  Sundays at midnight, TCM regularly schedules silent films, and for this day they're showing 11 silent cartoons, including The Artist's Dream (an early J.R. Bray), Trip to Mars (with Koko the Clown), Bobby Bumps Goes to School , and Fireman Save My Child (with Mutt and Jeff).  The next slot is for foreign films, and their animated example is Lotte Reineger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed . The schedule can be accessed here , and I'll be reminding everyone as the date approaches.
