Northwest Film Forum – Seattle, WA
February 14 @ 7:00 pm
Northwest Film Forum is thrilled to announce a screening of eight classic and newly restored cartoons from the pioneering and immensely influential Max and Dave Fleischer in honor of our favorite Hallmark Holiday: Valentines Day. Most well-known for their original cartoons and characters Betty Boop, Bimbo the Dog, and Koko the Clown, as well as their refreshing takes on popular characters like Popeye and Superman, the Fleischer Brothers created a wide breadth of work that reached far into the depths of the fantastic and absurd while maintaining a strong hold on a unique approach to humor.
This program focuses on stories about ❤️lovers❤️ From Popeye and Olive Oyl rolling through the city on skates, spaghetti limbs flailing about, to Betty Boop as Cinderella courting her Prince Charming in her only color film appearance, it’s impossible to not be head over heels with these films, as well as whoever you’re enjoying them with.
As a special bonus, this program will be hosted by the one and only Milo Harms, who will be sure to woo you with his passionate love for all things Fleischer and give you a night you won’t soon forget 💚
