INTERVIEW: Restoring Max Fleischer
From 1929 to 1942, Fleischer Studios was Walt Disney's greatest rival, bringing Superman, Popeye, and Betty Boop to the screen and pioneering a range of technical innovations. But for decades, many of the cartoons by Max and Dave Fleischer have suffered neglect. In this special report, Will talks to the team behind the grassroots Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored: animation historians Mauricio Alvarado and Ray Pointer, and Max Fleischer's granddaughter Jane Fleischer.
