Northwest Film Forum – Seattle, WA

Northwest Film Forum is thrilled to announce a screening of eleven classic and newly restored cartoons from the pioneering and immensely influential Max and Dave Fleischer in honor of our favorite night of the year: HALLOWEEN! 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 is full of some of the heaviest hitters from the Fleischer catalog, as well as some of the scariest cartoons that were being made at the time. You’ll laugh, cry, shriek, and shiver, as some of Dave Fleischer’s craziest characters and ideas grace our screen in quality unseen until now!
