Max Fleischer Cartoons

Wedding Belts | 1940 | Stone Age Cartoon | 16mm

We know Fleischer Studios made these ‘Stone Age’ cartoons but quite frankly they’re not as funny or entertaining as the earlier material they produced. We still managed to get a batch of them scanned from 16mm prints. The negatives exist but you tell us if they’re worth restoring…😅

Koko's Thanksgiving | 1925 | Out of the Inkwell

Pudgy Picks A Fight | 1937 | Betty Boop | Pudgy | Max Fleischer Studios Cartoon

Here’s a 35mm scan from the Library of Congress!

If We Lived On The Moon (1920)

Thrilled to share that we’ve acquired one of Max Fleischer’s earliest educational films when he was working at Bray Studios. Bray educational films covered many aspects of then-current information on science, engineering, mechanics, and astronomy. Several films on space exploration included All Aboard For the Moon and Hello, Mars, which were supervised by Max Fleischer. Attached is also a photo of the original paintings used in the film.

Walt & Max

Thrilled to share that we’ve been invited to screen the restored Fleischer cartoons to the team at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Will present them with this poster board of when Max & Walt first met at the studio.
