http://www.doukeniewinery.com/event/greekheritageday/The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “A Bug’s Life”
John Lasseter, director of the first-ever computer-animated feature, “Toy Story” (Pixar, 1995), followed that smash hit with this story that was inspired by Aesop’s fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper.” Misfit ant Flik (voiced by David Foley), is looking for some tough warriors to save his colony from greedy grasshoppers, but ends up recruiting a group of bugs that turn out to be an inept circus troupe. The original score for the film by Randy Newman won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture and was nominated for an Academy Award. Also in the all-star voice cast are Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Phyllis Diller, David Hyde Pierce and Madeline Kahn. “Luxo Jr.” (1986) and Oscar-winning “Tin Toy” (1988), two computer-animated short films directed by Lasseter and released by Pixar, will be shown before the feature. Both shorts are on the National Film Registry. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707- 9994.
