Winsor McCay’s last animated film, the 1921 classic “The Flying House – Dream of the Rarebit Fiend” follows a woman’s dream about escaping foreclosure, taking to the skies with her husband – using their own house as a vehicle! In 2011, Bill Plympton’s studio remastered the neglected film, digitally cleaning each frame of damaged footage. By adding color, voices, and a new score, Bill hopes that a fresh take on the classic will bring the genius of Winsor McCay to the attention of a new generation of animation fans.
