The Superman Cartoons of Max Fleischer
The Superman Cartoons of Max Fleischer
Join us for a special showcase of the Max Fleischer 'Superman' cartoons on the big screen! The 1941-42 Fleischer Studios shorts were Superman's first animated theatrical adventures that not only created a definitive style but went on to influence animated portrayals of other comic book characters such as Batman: The Animated Series. Long revered as among the best of the superhero cartoons, these films are presented in newly restored 4K resolution from 35MM archival prints spearheaded by Max's granddaughter, Jane Fleischer Reid.
Max Fleischer is one of the most renown pioneers in animation since the dawn of the industry. From 1919 to 1942, he and his company, Fleischer Studios, produced nearly 700 cartoons. Among his many achievements, he invented the Rotoscope which revolutionized animation, developed the “Stereo-optical Process” giving scenes a 3-D appearance, and created the “bouncing ball” for sing-alongs. His studio was the first to animate both Popeye and Superman. And he created the iconic Betty Boop, who remains an emblem of American culture to this day.Join us for a special showcase of the Max Fleischer 'Superman' cartoons on the big screen!
