2-disk
set featuring 33 Technicolor animated shorts by Max Fleischer. The DVD mainly
collects the "Color Classics" series, which were produced to showcase the
Fleischer's "Stero-optical Process," whereby the animators placed cells over
three-dimensional backgrounds to create the illusion of depth. The cartoons
have undergone both digital picture and sound restoration, and the disk is
packed with bonus features. Included are commentary by animation historian
Jerry Beck, production artwork still frame gallery, a documentary about the
Fleischer studio including excerpts from additional Color Classics cartoons.
Also, a separate Mono audio track is available, preserving the sound as
originally presented. Highlights of the set include "Greedy Humpty Dumpty,"
"The Cobweb Hotel," "Ants In The Plants," "Dancing On The Moon," "Hold It," "An
Elephant Never Forgets," and "Small Fry" and "The Fresh Vegetable Mystery."
Betty Boop appears in "Poor Cinderella" and Grampy shows up for "Christmas
Comes But Once a Year." Also included are two Academy Award Cartoon Short
Subject nominees - "Educated Fish" (1937) and "Hunky and Spunky" (1938). Of
course, "Somewhere in Dreamland" is also included.
