Animated Famous Firsts: From Doodles to Domination!

*Intended for Mature Audiences*

All animation creators, designers, artists and fans welcome!

Before they had hit shows, awards, and studio budgets… they had student films, weird ideas, and probably a lot of all-nighters!

Join ASIFA Colorado for Animated Famous Firsts, a special screening celebrating the early work of some of animation’s most beloved creators—from scrappy student films to the pilot episodes that launched iconic series. It’s a rare chance to see where it all began (and realize even the pros started a little rough around the edges).

🕒 3:00–5:00 PM
📍 Community College of Aurora, 9075 E. Lowry Boulevard, Building 965, Denver, CO 80230

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is encouraged as space is limited. First come, first seated.  Come get inspired, laugh a little, and maybe feel better about that unfinished project on your hard drive.
