Today, award-winning animation studio Titmouse (Big Mouth, The Legend of Vox Machina, The Venture Bros., Star Trek: Lower Decks, Beavis and Butt-Head) and theatrical exhibition co. Cinemark announced the cinematic debut of the Best of 5 Second Day at select U.S. Cinemark theaters, exclusively on September 20. The show is a compilation of some of the most fan-favorite, provocative and emotional creations from Titmouse’s annual 5 Second Day events, which showcase the creativity of the studio’s animators through short-form originals.
“5 Second Day started as a way for Titmouse artists to spend a day making a cartoon that they wanted to make,” said Chris Prynoski, co-founder and President of Titmouse. “Over the years, it has mutated into a magnificent, beautiful brain-beast that pulses with the creative energy emanating from the hands of these animators. It has its own life now, and we can’t keep it to ourselves anymore. Go out into the world, 5 Second Day, and fill the hearts and minds of animation fans around the nation with cartoon delight as they watch the action unfold on larger-than-life screens within Cinemark’s immersive, cinematic auditoriums.”
Highlighting more than 35 shorts over the course of an hour, viewers will enjoy the best of the best from the past 16 years, including shorts from Otto Tang (art director, Big Mouth, Kinderwood), Allison Craig (director, Kiff, Hanazuki: Full of Treasures) and Parker Simmons (creator of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart).
Next year (2025) marks the 25th anniversary of Titmouse, and this special theatrical event is just the beginning of the studio’s plans to continue expanding its connection to fans. 5 Second Day has traditionally been limited to small screenings for the animators and their friends and family, so offering this cinematic experience for fans nationwide will bring them even closer to Titmouse and their favorite animators.
Participating Cinemark theaters include locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
Tickets are available for purchase at Cinemark.com/titmouse or on the Cinemark app.
