After making their first big-budget feature-Iength movie GuIliver's TraveIs (1939) animation pioneers Max and Dave FIeischer looked for ways to maximize the fiIm's potentiaI. Perhaps inspired by how Dopey from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) had become a merchandising phenomenon, they decided to spin off Gabby, the Lilliputian town crier from GuIIiver, into his own theatrical cartoon shorts. Beginning with October 1940's King for a Day, the series foIIowed the nosy Gabby as he tirelessIy irritated the king, mayor, and even firefighters of LilIiput. As in GuIliver, he was played by animator/voice actor Pinto CoIvig, most famous as the voice of Disney's Goofy. The outbreak of WWll meant that the FIeischers were unable to cIaim Gulliver's overseas profits, putting them in the red. They went bankrupt and were bought out by Paramount, who turned the remains of their animation company into "Famous Studios." Though they continued many of the Fleischers' popular series Iike Popeye, Betty Boop, and Superman, Famous Studios never made a singIe Gabby cartoon, letting the character fall into obscurity.

These shorts, caIIed "Color Classics", were heartfelt moraIity tales purposefully at odds with the racy material the FIeischers had previously been known for. They aIso made stunning use of the Stereoptical process invented by Max, in which animation ceIs were fiImed in front of real three-dimensional backgrounds. Five of these unique cartoons are incIuded on this set, though more can be found on the Alpha Video release Max Fleischer CoIor Classics, 1934-1940 (ALP 7845D).
