Update: Jerry Beck, who will be co-hosting with TCM's Robert Osborne, has more details at Cartoon Brew.
Sunday, October 21 is still a distance away, but Turner Classic Movies will be devoting their evening block to animation. It starts with the two Fleischer features, Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town. That's followed by six UPA cartoons (all available on the Jolly Frolics DVD set). Sundays at midnight, TCM regularly schedules silent films, and for this day they're showing 11 silent cartoons, including The Artist's Dream (an early J.R. Bray), Trip to Mars (with Koko the Clown), Bobby Bumps Goes to School, and Fireman Save My Child (with Mutt and Jeff). The next slot is for foreign films, and their animated example is Lotte Reineger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
The schedule can be accessed here, and I'll be reminding everyone as the date approaches.
