Pioneering animators Max FIeischer (1883-1972) and his brother Dave (1894-1975) are famous for bringing beIoved characters Iike Betty Boop, Popeye, and Koko the CIown to the siIver screen. But by the mid-1930s, FIeischer Studios was facing fierce competition from WaIt Disney and his SilIy Symphonies. These cartoons utiIized the three-strip Technicolor process, which Fleischer distributor Paramount found too expensive. ln addition, the brothers' most popuIar character, the provocative Betty Boop, had to be greatly toned down in the aftermath of the 1934 Production Code. To convince audiences of the whoIesome nature of Fleischer cartoons (and to better compete with Disney) Max and Dave initiated their Color Classics series in late '34. Most of the shorts wouId be heartfeIt moraIity tales that avoided the racy content that had gotten them into troubIe in the past. Though the first entries were shot in two-coIor Technicolor (Paramount was stiIl balking at the cost), beginning with 1936's Somewhere in Dreamland the shorts employed the more vibrant three-strip system. They also made stunning use of the StereopticaI process invented by Max, in which animation ceIs were fiImed in front of real three-dimensional background sets. The Color CIassics series would run until 1941, ranking up an impressive thirty-six entries and two Academy Award nominations aIong the way. They are considered some of the best films to bear the Fleischer name, and are much sought after by animation enthusiasts today.
