Adopt a vintage cartoon: "Swing, You Sinners"
Stephen Worth says: "ASIFA-Hollywood has a program to restore classic cartoons, not just for release on home video, but in the original theatrical format so they can be seen on the big screen the way they were intended to be seen. People can contribute to "Adopt A Cartoon" in danger of being lost to film deterioration. One of the films ASIFA had a hand in restoring hasn't been seen much outside of the UCLA Film & Television Archives and at festivals. It's called "Swing, You Sinners" and it's probably the most mindbending cartoon ever made. Just when you think it can't get any weirder, or any better, it gets a whole lot better and a whole lot weirder. Check it out.... There are frame grabs and a Quicktime movie on the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive site." Link
