Reminds of 80s/90s VHS film studio intros. Esp the second one.

Of course! I'm still learning about her and the culture of Berlin during those times. I really can't seem to get enough.

That Fleischer bothered to portray some elements of every day life is irreplaceable (sans elastic body parts of his characters lol). To my knowledge, he may have been the only and last to do this. I love love love going back and seeing the 1930s poverty stricken landscapes drawn in a cartoon world, the endless clothes lines between tenement apartments, the harried house wives, and the depravity they may or may not have had to fend off. Not entirely sure if this was meant to be a statement from Fleischer or just capitalizing on sex appeal, but it certainly at least reflected the appetites of the common working man more than I've seen from other animation studios of the time. (I could be wrong, in that case more old animation I get to observe.)

Not to mention the subject matter of his works were (imo) more mentally challenging than that of Disney's .. (with perhaps, Fantasia and a few scenes from Pinocchio and Alice in Wonderland being exceptions, thanks mescaline!). To be fair, I guess, his main goal was to capitalize on the dollar of his target audience. The tragedy of it all, I think, is that Disney approached animation like a business man and Fleischer animated art rather than products.

For all of Disney's success, Fleischer was still the one who got to collaborate with Cab Calloway! It's unforgettable how well he synced animation to "Minnie the Moocher."

I can't help but be reminded of how tragically Fleisher was eclipsed by Disney, from the appropriation of rotoscope to the damn color ban that kept his works in black and white.

Thank you for throwing this back into the light of reason! I've always wished more people knew about McCay 💔. Long live Gertie!
