Overview
Feast on free pancakes for kids and mimosas for parents and enjoy popular cartoons starring some of our favorite wild animals. Before the screening, learn about birds that winter in New York City with a guest educator from Audubon New York's For the Birds! elementary education program and watch a performance from Darrah Carr Dance inspired by endangered animals.
One screening will be the award-winning 12 minute Stop-Motion animation film Poles Apart featuring furry ball-and-socket armature puppets. Poles Apart is a set in a melting Arctic landscape and tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a hungry Polar bear, Nanuk, and an enthusiastic Grizzly bear, Aklak. Voices for the bears were performed by Helena Bonham Carter and Joseph May.
