The Cartoons of Max Fleischer

The Fleischer Bros Cartoons return to the Rosendale Theatre on Saturday evening, August 10, 2024. Join us again – or for the first time! – for a celebration of the legendary Fleischer Studios as we enjoy a new block of restored cartoons featuring Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor, Koko the Clown and more!

This is the third installment of Fleischer Bros Cartoons since last July. The restoration crew is sending us a new compilation of toons. Frank Caruso will join us again in person for the after-screening discussion. Frank is a Cartoonist and Betty Boop’s Creative Director working with Fleischer Studios for 37+ years. He also spent decades as Popeye’s cartoonist and creative director for many other classic comic characters as the VP of Creative at King Features.

If you were at the January Fleischer show, you will remember that Frank could only join us on zoom because of the weather, but he worked live while talking with us and left us with a drawing of Betty Boop on the big screen sending love to the Rosendale Theatre! We are still smitten.
The upcoming August show will present different restored cartoons from the Fleischer Brothers oeuvre. These brand new restorations are sourced from the UCLA Film & Television Archives and original film elements from the Paramount Archives.

Stay after the show for a special Q&A with Frank Caruso. We will also have Fleischer merch for sale in the lobby. Also a raffle for some special Fleischer goodies.

This show has everything for the connoisseur of classic Fleischer art, for the animation maker or enthusiast, and for the eternal youth in all of us.
