Metrograph – New York, NY
Celebrate the holidays with Fleischer Studios, home of Betty Boop, Popeye, Bimbo, and a barbed, surrealist sense of humor. Featuring Modeling, in which Koko the Clown escapes Max Fleischer’s pen to run amok; Christmas Comes but Once a Year, in which Boop series regular Grampy has a solo outing saving Christmas for the residents of an orphanage; Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, an utterly charming visualization of Robert L. May’s 1939 poem of the same name; Thrills and Chills, in which Mme. Boop and her dog Pudgy find themselves in deep trouble while staying at a ski resort; Somewhere in Dreamland, the Fleischers’ first venture into three-strip Technicolor, in which two impoverished children of the Great Depression frolic through an imaginary land made of sweet comestibles; and Ker Choo, in which we witness a stock car race featuring La Boop, Koko, and Bimbo among the competitors.
