“Adventures in Plymptoons!” visits the funny, frantic world of independent animator and illustrator Bill Plympton, offering plentiful samples of his many films and featuring alternately insightful and amusing interviews with Plympton and his family, friends, colleagues, and critics. An influential icon in the world of animation and film – known for both his twisted humor and astonishing productivity – Plympton has been creating his unique work for more than 25 years. One of SLIFF’s Lifetime Achievement Award honorees, the director is also featured in a program on Nov. 11, “An Evening With Bill Plympton” (see Shorts),  which includes both brand-new and classic works, and he offers a master class on Nov. 12 (see Special Events).
