The Athens Theatre and the Fleischer Family Present

The Cartoons of Max Fleischer

Join us for a block of the most surreal and spookiest cartoons produced by Fleischer Studios featuring Betty Boop, Bimbo the Dog & Koko the Clown!
Fleischer Studios created the iconic Betty Boop and was the first to animate both Popeye and Superman, along with many other cartoons characters such as KoKo the Clown and Bimbo the dog.
Over the last few years, the Fleischer family has been acquiring and restoring the animated films of Max Fleischer and Fleischer Studios. They’ve been working with Paramount Pictures and archives around the world to create new 4K digital restorations from original source materials.
To date they have restored nearly 90 Fleischer cartoons, dating from the earliest, silent films in the 1920s up through the Superman cartoons of the early 1940s.
This show consists of an hour block of newly restored films and includes a Q&A with the Fleischer family for an inside look at the history and legacy of the studio
