The Rarebit Animation Festival

Kingsborough Community College's Animation Festival, featuring work from CUNY animation students

Questions? Contact [email protected]

The Rarebit Animation Festival takes its name from Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, the
innovative and often surreal comic strip by one-time Sheepshead Bay
resident Winsor McCay (c.1867-1934). Perhaps best known for his
popular strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, McCay was a pioneer in the art of
animation--his cartoon Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) was one of the very first
animated films ever created. The Kingsborough Art Museum is proud to
remember the legacy of this important American cartoonist and animator through
the Rarebit Animation Festival.
