Get ready for an afternoon of family fun at the Senate with a variety show of vintage animation. From living vegetables to caped crusaders and from scheming kitty cats to fightin’ sailors, these cartoon classics are just an ol’ fashioned good time for everyone!
Producers of Popeye, Betty Boop and Superman cartoons, Fleischer Studios was once the premiere animation studio in the world, competing head-to-head with Walt Disney. Thanks to its grittier style and technical innovations, its most popular creations have remained vital for decades, long after the studio that gave birth to them was folded into Paramount Pictures in 1942.
We can’t wait to share them with you. And, thanks to our friends at Motor City Cinema Society, the final three shorts of the afternoon will be presented on 16mm film!
