Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored

10/9/2024; 47 minutes

An American animator, film director, and producer, Max Fleischer is best known for creating some of the most iconic animated characters and for pioneering several animation techniques that have had a lasting impact on the industry. Fleischer is responsible for creating Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor, and Koko the Clown, and was one of the leading figures in the early days of American animation, alongside Walt Disney, and his work significantly shaped the development of the medium. While his contributions to animation were groundbreaking, but Fleischer's work was often overshadowed by Disney in later years. Rockin Pins CEO, Mauricio Alvarado is joined by animation historian Ray Pointer in a discussion on how Fleischer Cartoons are working to be restored for a new generation of animation lovers.
