Max Fleischer is one of the most renown pioneers in animation. From 1919 to 1942, he and his company, Fleischer Studios, produced nearly 700 cartoons. Among his many achievements, his studio was the first to animate both Popeye and Superman — and he created the legendary Betty Boop, who remains an icon of American culture to this day.
Join us for 80 minutes of recently restored Fleischer Cartoons on the big screen!
