MKE Film presents 'Animation April'!

We’re a scant two days into April, and Milwaukee Film has lined up a couple series that will keep your eyes glued to the big screen throughout the month — one of which gets all of our attention on this episode of Cinebuds.Because they’re naturally colorful characters, Dori and Kpolly of course wanted to talk about “Animation April,” which will cover nearly 40 years of the art form that brings the fantastic to life at theaters everywhere. The Milwaukee Film series focuses intently on one particular theater: The Oriental, which will roll out nine selections over the next several weeks.“Animation can fascinate audiences both young and old,” Milwaukee Film’s Black Lens programmer Ty Williams said in a release. “From painstakingly made claymation to visually mind blowing anime, these films have been made with care from some of the greatest creatives in the industry.”April 3 at 7 p.m. — Ghost in the ShellApril 3-5 at 9 p.m. — Cowboy Bepop: The MovieApril 5-6 at 3 p.m. — The Land Before TimeApril 10-12 at 9 p.m. — MindgameApril 11 at 3 p.m. — FlowApril 12-13 at 3 p.m. — The Prince of EgyptApril 13 at noon and 6 p.m. — FlowApril 17-19 at 9 p.m. — PaprikaApril 18 at 4 p.m. — Memoir of a SnailApril 19-20 at 3 p.m. — The Last UnicornApril 20 at 6 p.m. — Memoir of a Snail
