Each session will be 4 hours long and it’ll go by fast. Please bring a snack for yourself. We will provide all necessary tools and instruction. Please try not to miss any sessions as they are all critical to the success of this class. There will be 1 make up day that will be on Saturday, March 14th noon to 4.

C5 presents: The History of Film Animation | Secret of Nimh | Thursday | February 26th 2026
2026-02-26 18:30 - 21:00 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Animation history is fueled by rebellion, rivalry, and artists bold enough to break away from the status quo. The Rise of Rivals dives into the moment when animators defected from the Disney machine, sparking fierce creative competition and giving rise to sharper humor, darker themes, and entirely new icons. As studios and storytellers pushed back against polished fairy tales, characters like Bugs Bunny emerged—witty, irreverent, and defiantly different—forever changing the tone and possibilities of animation.
We’ll kick things off with Looney Tunes: A Wild Hare (1940), the cartoon that officially introduced Bugs Bunny and defined Warner Bros.’ fast, anarchic style as a direct counterpoint to Disney’s approach. Then, experience the haunting artistry of The Secret of NIMH (1982), a visually rich and emotionally daring feature created by former Disney animators who set out to prove animation could be complex, mature, and uncompromising.
You’re in for an electrifying night celebrating the rivalries that reshaped animation—and the artists who dared to challenge the throne.

Loud As Folk began as a monthly songwriters showcase based out of Reno, NV in 2011 and has since grown into a touring revue, a recording studio, a radio hour, and a creative movement.

In the music of Charlie Parr, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create. The Minnesota-born guitarist, songwriter, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows, writing and rewriting songs as he plays, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.”
