Product Description

This comprehensive collection of Max Fleischer cartoon masterpieces presents over 30 rarely seen Technicolor animated shorts, produced during the golden age of animation. Fleischer created the "Color Classics," a twisted collection of musical cartoons, to showcase his patented "Stereo-optical Process" that created the illusion of depth by animating his characters over three-dimensional, live action backgrounds. In this special digital picture and sound restoration, you'll discover a menagerie of wonderfully bizarre new characters and a massive dose of the Fleischers' surreal humor. Highlights include "Greedy Humpty Dumpty," "The Cobweb Hotel," "Ants in the Plants," and "The Fresh Vegetable Mystery." Featured are two Academy Award Cartoon Short Subject nominees - "Educated Fish" (1937) and "Hunky and Spunky" (1938) - as well as famed Fleischer femme fatale Betty Boop ("Poor Cinderella") and Grampy ("Christmas Comes But Once a Year"), and a potpourri of great song cartoons such as "Dancing on the Moon," "Hold It," "An Elephant Never Forgets," and "Small Fry." This collection is a dream come true for cartoon aficionados and Fleischer fanatics, young and old alike! Animated characters: BETTY BOOP, GRAMPY, HUMPTY DUMPTY, HUNKY and SPUNKY and more!

Color cartoon classics

These cartoons were painstakingly hand drawn in the 1930’s reflecting a different era. The opportunity to see a color production with the B&W feature was probably a thrill. Most were meant for adults but “Somewhere in Dreamland” is a Christmas classic for all and the labor intensive productions are the best!

A Piece of My Childhood

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2008

When I was a kid, my sister and I had a bunch of cheapie public domain tapes with old cartoons on them; we used to watch them constantly. When we were older and felt that we outgrew cartoons, we gave the tapes away, but I always regretted doing so. I finally found many of our favorite shorts gathered together on this 2 disk set.

The Fleischer studios Color Classics are excellent short animated films. The simple stories are memorable and the animation is unique. The characters are made to be rather cute and the rotoscope backgrounds are an unusual touch. These films do not get the credit they deserve, but here they are to be rediscovered.

Somewhere in Dreamland is an obvious standout. Two desperately poor children walk home to find a meager dinner of bread and coffee. They go to bed and dream of a world of undulating sweets and happiness. When they wake, they find that the neighborhood has gathered a collection of goodies for them to enjoy.

Play Safe is a sweet little story about a curious little boy and the dog that protects him. When the boy wanders away from the yard, it is up to the dog to save him.

Christmas Comes But Once a Year features a group of orphans in the poorhouse who have very little for Christmas. A local man dresses us as Santa Claus and makes all sorts of creative toys from odds and ends for the children.

In Little Lamby, a wolf comes to town and sets his sights on a tasty young lamb. He lures it to him by holding a "cutest baby" contest among all of the animals. Little do they know that the winner will become his dinner.

The Fresh Vegetable Mystery is very well done; the baby carrots turn up missing and some mischievious creatures do all they can to prevent them from being found.

Several rare cartoons are found in the Lost Episodes feature, a short documentary about the Fleischer cartoons and the making of this DVD set. The Kids in the Shoe is included here, a great short about the woman who lived in the shoe. She puts the children to bed and goes off to take her nap, and the kids wake up to play some great jazz.

Overall, this is a great set. The picture quality isn't always amazing, but all of the cartoons are watchable and appropriate for all ages.

I baught this 2 disk dvd set because I really like the older technicolor cartoons. I am really pleased with the purchase. It sometimes astounds me the graphics considering most of these were made in the early 1900's. Their is a good collection of older cartoons on the two disks. The only downside to the disks is it seems like there is a little bit of the resolution faded. Im not sure why but when I watch a video on youtube it seems to be more resolution. Idk. Maybe its just me, but to own a peice of history the price is decent. I do recommend it!

I used to watched these cartoons growing up on VHS in the 80’s. Buying this brought me back to my childhood and I couldn’t believe how many cartoons I had remembered. Definitely interesting to see the technology they had back in the 30’s to make these cartoons.

My family had a lot of these on VHS when I was a child, growing up in the late 80's-early 90's. Now when I want to reminisce about my childhood, I have these shorts ready and waiting in my collection.

My boyfriend was so surprised that I had manage to find a film collection with the short 'Somewhere in Dreamland', as it is a shared favourite of ours.

Thanks!

Here's a very very fine collection of classic animated cartoons from that Fleischer Studios way back. The films here are not necessarily all, or the most preferable to consider in such a release. That's always up for debate. The capacity of the medium it selves is a factor as well. I really like this DVD for several reasons. It stands out in a crowd of similar releases. I like it's uniqueness and that it is not one number in a series. The only reason for not giving it five stars is that I can't make up my mind regarding the the extremely strong colorization some of the films have been given.
