For 2009 Animex Screen brings you a feast
of animated movies befitting of our tenth
birthday celebrations!
Along with the usual selection of new and exciting
work, audiences will be able to view timeless classic
animated feature films where they were made to be
seen... on the big screen. With a mixture of
informative and inspiring documentaries, specially
curated programmes and the very best in new
animation from around the world selected from our
own Animex Awards, you can be sure of some
fantastic entertainment.
The screen programme this year also has a distinctly
Disney flavour to complement our list of guest

speakers and showcases the output of the studio
from its humble beginnings up to its most recent
release in glorious 3D.
We are delighted to announce the screening of
Leslie Iwerks’ films The Hand behind the Mouse,
based on the life and work of her grandfather Ub
Iwerks and The Pixar Story, which takes audiences
behind the scenes of the groundbreaking studio
that pioneered a new generation of animation.
Screenings will take place at the Cineworld Multiplex
in Middlesbrough and the University of Teesside.
Please check the screening summary for full details
of what is happening during the week.
The week begins with the Features for Families
screenings at Cineworld on Saturday 31 January
where kids can bring their parents and watch their
pick of a selection of fine films for free. The festival
finishes on the evening of Friday 6 February with a
special GALA screening of the new Disney animated
feature Bolt to celebrate the launch of the 3D version
of the film.
Whatever your taste in animation there will be
something for everyone at our birthday celebration,
enjoy the party!
