With an introduction by Bernardo Rondeau and Claire Fleischer
Join us for a delightful all-ages program celebrating the classic animated films of Fleischer Studios – the pioneering animation studio run by brothers Dave and Max Fleischer that were the first to introduce sound in animation and inventors of rotoscoping (tracing human movement from film) as well as the originators of Popeye, the first Superman cartoons and of course the most popular female cartoon heroine of all time – Betty Boop. This program includes cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s, lovingly restored from original film elements in 4K spearheaded by Max Fleischer’s granddaughter, Jane Fleischer Reid. Learn about the studio’s influence and history and most importantly enjoy these films the way they were meant to be seen, on the big screen! Shorts include Betty Boop’s Halloween Party, Betty in Blunderland, Koko’s Kink, Popeye the Sailor – Little Swee’ Pea, Play Safe, and more!
A Viva Cinema program– a new series at Vidiots focused on newly restored film discoveries from around the world and across time.
