December 3rd: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Locally produced at Sony Pictures Animation, Into the Spider-Verse offers a level of aesthetic originality rarely (if ever) seen in big-budget 3D animated features. Animating sequences “on twos,” using halftone dots, and deliberately misaligning color layers all help create the sensation of a kinetic, immersive comic book. Come enjoy some free snacks and tide yourself over until Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out… in 2027.
