I'm intrigued! To go along with this announcement, here's a clip of the real Max Fleischer interacting with Betty Boop in 1934.

‘20k Leagues’ was Disney first full live action film and the future of the studio rested on the shoulders of film director, Richard Fleischer, son of Max Fleischer. Fascinating to know that a Fleischer is the reason Disney kept its doors open. #fleischerstudios #disney

Eddie Muller screened "Armored Car Robbery" (1950) in his first Film Noir Festival [in 1998?] with Richard Fleischer as the guest of honour. Fleischer hadn't seen the movie after he completed post production in 1950. He was nervous about seeing it completely for the first time. Just before the lights went down, Fleischer told Muller, "I'm afraid, I will be embarrassed". After watching the movie completely, Fleischer smiled and said, "Not bad. I gotta say not bad for a kid just starting out." ("Noir Alley", Eddie Muller, TCM) P.S: On this day, 76 years ago, "Armored Car Robbery" (1950) was released in the USA.

You know what sucks about this? This will get a bazillion amounts of hate while in reality Betty Boop was based off a black Harlem dancer named “Esther Lee Jones”. Even the Official Betty Boop page acknowledges it. Now if the film is about THAT, I’d be even more excited.

Produced by Paramount as a response to Disney’s Snow White, Gulliver’s Travels (1939) was the studio’s first animated feature. Based on Jonathan Swift’s novel, this Fleischer Studio film, used 'rotoscoping', a new animation technique developed by Max Fleischer. The process involves tracing live-action footage frame-by-frame; Sam Parker, the actor who performed the voice of Gulliver, also modeled as the character's live-action reference. Gulliver was a success at the box office and earned two Oscar nominations.

Max Fleischer's trippy version of "Snow White" from 1933 remains a fascinating and bizarre piece of animation history. In this short Betty Boop cartoon, Fleischer and his team condensed and twisted the classic Snow White tale, taking viewers on a surreal journey that defies expectations. One of the standout moments in the cartoon is the inclusion of Cab Calloway, a renowned jazz singer of the time. In the middle of the animated film, Calloway appears and performs the hauntingly beautiful "St. James Infirmary Blues." The scene is a rare live-action segment, originally from another cartoon of the era titled "Minnie the Moocher," which was another iconic song associated with Calloway. Interestingly, the footage and music used in the beginning of "Minnie the Moocher" are clearly the same recording as the song "St. James Infirmary Blues" featured in the Betty Boop cartoon. In a clever editing move, the two pieces of audio are seamlessly joined together, creating a seamless transition between the two cartoons. Calloway's appearance in the cartoon is truly mesmerizing. He begins by singing the tune as Koko the Clown, a character created by Fleischer, and then undergoes a transformation into a ghostly figure. The animation beautifully captures Calloway's distinctive enunciation and signature dance moves, accompanied by a barrage of wild and imaginative visuals. In addition to the captivating animation, the cartoon also incorporates scenes from the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers," in which Cab Calloway once again performs "Minnie the Moocher." This inclusion adds an extra layer of intertextuality, as viewers are introduced to Calloway through this iconic performance. "Betty Boop in Snow White" is a testament to Max Fleischer's creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of animation. The cartoon showcases his unique vision and knack for blending different artistic mediums, resulting in a truly trippy and memorable viewing experience. Directed by Dave Fleischer and animated by Roland C. Crandall, the cartoon exemplifies the Fleischer Studio's distinctive style, characterized by fluid animation, vibrant colors, and a surreal atmosphere. Their innovative techniques and bold storytelling continue to inspire animators and artists to this day. Despite being a departure from the traditional Snow White narrative, Max Fleischer's version remains a remarkable piece of animation history. It stands as a testament to the power of imagination and creativity in bringing beloved stories to life in new and unexpected ways.

Emmy Award Winner Quinta Brunson set to play the iconic BETTY BOOP in a new film made in collaboration with the creator's grandson!!! Betty Boop is one of my favorite past characters from old Hollywood and Quinta Brunson perfectly capsulate her bubbly and sparkly personality. I already know this casting is going to be met with immense amount of racism and pushback, but you would think after 100 years of black face and whitewashing in cinema conservatives would see the hypocrisy in they’re outrage but I guess that’s asking too of white America. Betty Boop has also been recently played by Tony-nominated actress Jasmine Amy Rogers on Broadway in ‘BOOP! The Musical’, becoming the first Black woman to officially portray the Iconic character on stage. With the creators family involved I’m super excited and I hope Disney Searchlight Pictures picks it up for award season. #BettyBoop #AbbottElementary #Disney #Broadway #SearchlightPictures

According to Richard Fleischer, Howard Hughes saw "The Narrow Margin" (1952) several times and it was his favourite picture. He was so impressed with the film that he didn't want to change anything in the movie but he wanted it to be entirely shot again with Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell as the leads. Fleischer didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard about the plan. He was concerned that Hughes would get someone else to direct the movie. If it happened, he thought, "Instead of being the tightly wrought gem of a film noir we all believed it to be, it would now become—well, something else". But thankfully, Hughes plan didn't materialise. But it resulted in the film being released two years after it was completed. It became the the highest grossing movie for that year for RKO. P.S: On this day, 74 years ago, "The Narrow Margin" (1952) premiered in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
