Babe
Everyone loves the delightful story of a plucky little pig who behaves like a sheepdog and talks like a human. Seamlessly blending footage of real animals with computer animation, this Oscar winner spins an irresistible tale about individualism and conformity.

Safety Last
Harold Lloyd became known as “the King of Daredevil Comedy” for this silent classic, which includes one of the most famous images in film: Lloyd dangling from the hands of a giant clock, 12 stories above the street. Famously performed without a net, that hair-raising stunt is just one of the unforgettable moments in this brilliant comedy.
Piano accompaniment by Ben Model, who has been performing his own scores for silent films at the Burns, the Museum of Modern Art, and other venues since 1984.

Porco Rosso
This lesser-known gem by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Ponyo) is—like all of his movies—funny, a little eerie, and beautiful to look at. And it’s also a rip-roaring adventure starring the only world-famous flying ace and pirate hunter who also happens to be a pig.
with Three Little Bops, the classic 1957 Looney Tunes cartoon.

Porky Pig shorts
In the inimitable world of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and the Roadrunner, Porky Pig sometimes gets short shrift. But he’s highlighted here in a selection of wonderful cartoons—many of which are rarely seen. Including the 1953 Chuck Jones masterpiece Duck Dodgers in the 24th Century, one of the funniest of all time.
