Film classification regulations in Australia require all films to
either be formally classified OR restricted to an audience of 18
years of age and over. Like most festivals, we do not have the resources
to classify films, and it is for this reason alone that we
are not able to admit any person under the age of 18 years to
the main MIAF screenings. |

Ever heard of Mr Magoo? Gerald McBoing Boing? Howdy
Doody Magic Hat? How about animators such as John Hubley, Robert
“Bobe” Cannon, Steve Bosustow, Zack Schwartz, Dave Hilberman,
Jules Engel, Paul Julian or Gene Deitch? If the answer is yes then
you’ll really want to check our UPA programs. If no, then
you HAVE to see them. UPA Pictures is an essential, elemental part
of animation history. Born out of the bitter 1941 Disney strike,
it brought together animators who believed in the power of art and
who didn’t believe in the relentless realist approach to animation
design that Disney comprehensively made his own. Together they took
animation off on a whole new path creating enduring characters,
thought-provoking subject matter, and a surprisingly diverse body
of modern work along the way, often pushing the animation envelope.
Tee Bosustow (son of UPA co-founder Steve Bosustow)
has helped us curate these three sublime programs of classics, oddities
and UPA essentials and will journey to MIAF to introduce them, giving
us a first-hand insight into this dynamic chapter of animation history.
THE CLASSICS
UPA created some of the most loved cartoons
of all times. These films had vast appeal across virtually all age
groups. They were funny, captivating and hugely entertaining. They
showcased characters that still resonate 60 years since they were
created and brought to the fore the talents of some of the most
gifted and famous animators to ever pick up a pencil.
This program also digs into the films that built
and locked in UPA’s early reputation. Some of these utilised
animation to discuss social and political issues and even –
improbably – to encourage air force jet pilots to not fly
too low!
So step right up, check out a collection of animation’s
finest moments.

Tom
Sito Hello
Tom Sito, Tee Besustow
USA, 5'40, 2006
An introduction to the history and back story
of UPA from animation writer, producer and historian, Tom Sito. |
 |
Hell
Bent For Election
Chuck Jones
USA, 12'30, 1944
One of UPA's first films and a true classic.
An express train-sized push to get Roosevelt elected. |
 |
Brotherhood
Of Man
Robert Cannon
USA, 10'35, 1945
An early, commissioned UPA
film that showed just what they were capable of as they make the case
for multiculturalism in a pre-PC world. |
 |
Flat
Hatting
John Hubley
USA, 5'45, 1946
They don't train 'em with
cartoons anymore! A wonderful ‘instructional’ film designed
to warn US Air Force pilots about the perils of cowboy flying. |
 |
The
Magic Fluke (aka Fox And Crow)
John Hubley
USA, 6'55, 1949
The quintessential UPA cartoon.
The tale of Fox, the suave band leader, and Crow, his multi-talented
one man band. |
 |
Gerald
McBoing Boing
Robert Cannon
USA, 6’55, 1951
One of the most famous
cartoons ever created. Gerald McBoing Boing can't make words, he just
goes "boing boing" instead. |
 |
The
Unicorn In The Garden
William T. Hurtz
USA, 6'40, 1953
Being a little bit crazy has
its advantages. Is there REALLY a unicorn in the garden? |
 |
Fudget's
Budget
Robert Cannon
USA, 6'45, 1954
Say hello to George and Irene
Fudget, just two of the courageous people who live within a family
budget (and you know that rhymes). |
 |
The
Tell-Tale Heart
Ted Parmelee
USA, 7'45, 1953
A true classic and a complete
change of vibe. An absorbing adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe tale,
narrated with chilling effect by James Mason. |
