Family Flicks: Toby Tyler

Co-presented with the UCLA Film & Television Archive

Toby runs away from home to join the circus, convinced that his family doesn’t want him. This confusion is cleared up by story’s end, but in the meantime he lives a kid’s fantasy; inhabiting a colorful alternative world, becoming a circus acrobat, even befriending a lovable chimp, Mr. Stubbs. Versatile kid star Kevin Corcoran shines in this heartwarming adventure story. (1960. Dir: Charles Barton. digital video, color, 95 min.)

Artful Words: When Copying Isn't Bad

 

Artful Words: When Copying Isn't Bad

In this workshop, copying is not just allowed; it is encouraged! The only rule is that the phrases you copy from your favorite song, book, or story should be used to make new art. Join art educator and poet Theresa Sotto in creating “artful words” inspired by artist Ed Ruscha, a master of the art of making new art from old writings. Ages 10–14.
