THE ANIMATION MADNESS OF MAX FLEISCHER / Dir. Max Fleischer / USA / 109 min. /
35mm
There was a time when animation was truly an art form; talented artists created magical and fantastic
stories with the deft strokes of a brush. Luckily for you and your kids, we are bringing those wonderful
days of yore back to brilliant life on the big screen with a program of vintage animation from the
studios of Max Fleischer. Max and his brother, Dave, were the creative force behind some of the finest
animation ever filmed! They pioneered such techniques as rotoscoping and 3D modeling, which made
their cartoon backdrops ultrarealistic. This incredible program features the bizarre 1933 cartoon Betty
Boop in Blunderland, 1941ÃÂ¢Ã,ÂÃ,Âs art-moderne Superman & the Mechanical Monsters and the fully restored
version of Popeye Meets Ali Baba & His Forty Thieves. Capping off this cartoon cavalcade is the
feature presentation of the 1939 masterpiece Gulliver's Travels, using a rare original 35mm three strip
Technicolor print!
