Ask a Fleischer expert! Part 1

Hey y’all! I want to start a new video series where we answer your Fleischer Studios questions. Feel free to drop a question below so we can answer them on the program!

Aesop’s Fables - The Walrus Hunters

Paul Terry was another important figure in animation history. Here’s a cool 35mm scan of one of the early ‘Aesop’s Fables’ he worked on.

Inkwell Imps

So apparently films released in 1927 will become PD next year and we do have a ton of original ‘imps’ camera negatives scanned. Thinking we can start releasing them on here. What say you?

Out of the Inkwell - Circus 35mm

We found another rare gem that we want to get scanned! This is a really great episode where Koko and Fitz join a freak show! Your support is helping us get this digitized over to 4K!

Learn how Jack and our team restored the latest Fleischer cartoon!

Out of the Inkwell - Claytown

Hope you all had a great holiday! We heard back from the archive who owns the only known copy of ‘Claytown’ and they’re open to letting us scan the print. Sadly it’s already decomposing so we would only be able to save what’s available. Please spread the word so we can get more help scanning this one!

Here’s a beautiful copy of the classic Christmas cartoon from our friends at the Library of Congress!
