The greatest cartoon band since Josie and the Pussycats headline Merriweather Post Pavilion. Everyone likes Gorillaz because everyone likes cartoon. Have you ever met anyone that dislikes cartoons? It’s fine not to know about modern cartoons or stop watching cartoons after childhood but no one should actively hate cartoons.

It’s easier to start a cartoon band than go to space but we can still dream. Dream with other dreamers at the Innovation Beyond Boundaries Conference.

• See a U.S. premiere in a fancy location. The Embassy of France in the United States and the Carnegie Institution for Science screen L’Odyssée as part of the French-American Climate Talks on Ocean.

Watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in the climate controlled Backstage.
