If you get OVATION on your cable television line-up, this is a special animation-themed weekend. I just watched Hand Behind The Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story (again). Here’s what’s left for the rest of the tonight and tomorrow (at least on the East Coast, where I am):

8 PM, 11 PM: Tokyo Godfathers

10 PM, 1 AM: Chuck Amuck

2 AM: Triplets of Belleville

SUNDAY

1 PM: Wallace and Gromit Go To Hollywood (doc about Aardman)

2 PM: The Ub Iwerks Story

4 PM: Tokyo Godfathers

6 PM, 2 AM: Dante’s Inferno (with puppetry by Paul Zaloom)

And then–in case you are in the mood for some creative despair–at 8 and 11 PM they will be playing the documentary Crumb.

(At top, a somewhat loosely-related YouTube clip for PES’ free holiday “Yule Log” screensaver.)
