THE ANIMATION ACADEMY

The Animation Academy, an exhibition that takes students on a journey through the history of animation, from pre-film animation devices to the computer generated animated films of today, opens Tuesday, June 2, and runs through Wednesday, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays at the Exploreum Science Center. Discover the men and women who have contributed to animation through the ages and learn what films, tools or characters they introduced to the world. Take a behind-the-scenes look into the making of animated shows and movies and view old drawings, sets and notes used in these productions. General admission is $15 for adults; free for members. Mobile County is a sponsor of The Animation Academy. For more information, go to www.exploreum.com/exhibits/upcoming-exhibits.
