I too saw some cartoons (all LT/MMs) at an old movie theater in Keene, New Hampshire, but I can't remember what ones. Every year in October they hold a weekend pumpkin festival there and an elogant old theater runs shorts for free for the duration of the festival. They seem to vary the program every year. Philo & Gunge, is this where you saw them?

Other than that I remember seeing Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century as a kid, I believe before The Empire Strikes Back.

[Philo & Gunge]

Yup! Nice theater, isn't it?

[Chow Hound]

Yup! Nice theater, isn't it?
Yes, I wish there were more like that around. The curtains and balconies really add elegance to the movie-going experience.

[J. B. Warner]

"Chariots of Fur" before "Richie Rich"
"Hey Arnold!: Fight" before "Harriet the Spy"
"Action League Now: Rock a Big Baby" before "Good Burger"
"CatDog: Fetch" before "The Rugrats Movie"
"Runaway Brain" before "George of the Jungle"
"Pikachu's Vacation" before "Pokémon: The First Movie"
"Pikachu's Rescue Adventure" before "Pokémon the Movie 2000"
"Pikachu and Pichu" before "Pokémon 3: The Movie"

Yeah, I know, what a pathetic list. Wish I hadn't seen those last three...

[Cartman]

"Pikachu's Vacation" before "Pokémon: The First Movie"
"Pikachu's Rescue Adventure" before "Pokémon the Movie 2000"
"Pikachu and Pichu" before "Pokémon 3: The Movie"

Did one theater show TOKIO JOKIO before the Pokemon movie? I thought I remembered someone on the old TTTP board mentioning this.

Just the notion of that possibility is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

[Nick]

Did one theater show TOKIO JOKIO before the Pokemon movie? I thought I remembered someone on the old TTTP board mentioning this. Yes, I searched on the forum and it was Thad who orignally said that:

Reminds me of the time how a local theatre (which went out of business) that used to run cartoons before the movie got in trouble for playing "Tokio Jokio" before one of the Pokemon movies... http://forums.toonzone.net/images/smilies/anime.gifhttp://forums.toonzone.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[J. B. Warner]

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that isn't all that funny after all...it's actually a little insulting.
