Fleischer Studios Legacy classics screen at AFS today and tomorrow.
Boop-oop-a-doop! Max Fleischer's greatest creation is bringing all her friends back to the screen this weekend at AFS Cinema with the Fleischer Studios Legacymasterminds Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. Creator of Betty Boop, inventor of the rotoscope, the producer who brought the four-panel funnies of Popeye the Sailor Man and four-color adventures of Superman to the silver screen: But to Jane Fleischer Reid, he was grandpa.
Yet for many reasons – corporate double-dealing, time, changing tastes – his pivotal role in the birth of cartoons is often overlooked. Animation historian Ray Pointer explained,"The unfortunate thing is that everyone knows the work, but they don't know the man behind it. They all know Popeye and Betty Boop, but they don't know that Max Fleischer was connected to them as they connect Walt Disney to Mickey Mouse.
Now AFS Cinema will be reinforcing that connection with the Fleischer Studios Legacy, a weekend of screenings and conversations between Fleischer Reid and Pointer celebrating the animator's innovation, impact, and the joy that he brought to audiences around the world. In 2021, the Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored! initiative began the process of restoring the Fleischer Studios catalog from the best prints and negatives.
A cartoonist and illustrator by trade, Fleischer invented the rotoscope in 1915 as a way to smooth out early, jerky animation techniques. Rotoscoping – allowing animators to draw over live footage – sped up production, and quickly Fleischer Studios was producing dozens of shorts a year.
It's a laborious process, but for Rockin Pins CEO and Fleischer superfan Mauricio Alvarado, it's worth the effort. He said,"What's amazing about those cartoons is how old they are, and how perfectly amazing the techniques are." Recently, the team got hold of a print of 1924's"Clay Town," which mixed Claymation, animation, and live-action footage.
