Tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 7, 9:30 p.m.

The bi-annual Festival of Animation returns to the Cambridge area at the Somerville Theater this weekend for a two-week run. To be featured at this sampling extravaganza of animated subjects will be the Canadian award-winning The Crow and the Canary, 25 Ways to Quit Smoking, Bill Plympton's look at how to shed the deadly habit, and award winning graphicist John Lasseter's computer-generated Knick Knack. The Festival of Animation is known internationally as one of the best showcases for the most recent creations in animation. This year's show also highlights The Hill Farm, which took the Grand Prize at the Annecy France Film Festival and which displays a realistic look at British country life.
