Attention good people of NY! Summer is here which means the return of Animation Block Party. This is NY’s rocking outdoor animation fest running July 24-26 in Brooklyn at 50 Bedford Ave. North 13th St. (Williamsburg, Brooklyn) on the lawn of Automotive High School. Doors open at 8:00 with live music cranking shortly after. Visit them via Facebook for more details. I’m guessing from the photos that Bill Plympton’s new “Horn Dog” short will be in the mix but it doesn’t look like a full lineup has been posted. The official site reminds me how much I dig Ben Meinhart’s work though (embedded above). Grab tickets while ya can.
