While keeping up with Disney as the ’30s progressed and color cartoons became the norm, the Fleischer studio was no less surreal in their gags and storytelling. In 1934, the studio introduced a third dimensional effect to their cartoons (beating Disney to the screen, his Multiplane camera would first appear in 1937). Dazzling eye-popping visuals in the Color Classic series beginning with Betty Boop as Poor Cinderella, a candyland of wonders Somewhere In Dreamland, and the sailor’s finest two-reeler, Popeye Meets Ali Baba—among others.
