Carbon Arc is delighted to partner with Lucid Toons, a monthly series spinoff from the annual Animation Festival of Halifax! In June, Lucid Toons presents Fabulous Fleischer Toons Restored!
A Q&A with a member of the Fleischer Toons' Restoration Team will occur immediately after Greatest Hits 2, then there will be a short intermission before we screen Best of Superman at 7:45PM.
It is possible to buy tickets to either 'Greatest Hits 2' (includes Q&A) only, or 'Best of Superman' only. Or see both and get best value with a double feature ticket!
Max Fleischer is one of the most renowned pioneers in animation. From 1919 to 1942, he and his company, Fleischer Studios, produced nearly 700 cartoons. Among his many achievements, his studio was the first to animate both Popeye and Superman — and he created the legendary Betty Boop, who remains an icon of American culture to this day.
Yet despite Fleischer’s major and prolific achievements, there is no comprehensive collection of his work.
Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored was founded by Max Fleischer's granddaughter, Jane Fleischer. The mission of Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored is to collect all of the Fleischer cartoons that remain today, restore them, and gather them into a single digital space so they can be seen by audiences as Max Fleischer intended.
Tickets:
Fleischer Double Feature (Greatest Hits and Superman) $12.95 ($12 at the door if available
Greatest Hits 2 only OR Best of Superman only $8.75 ($8 cash at the door if available)
