July 21, 2014: Fleischer Superman Cartoons Screening in Portland, OR
Posted by Neil Cole
The Portland Art Museum's Northwest Film Center will present a special screening of the classic Fleischer Studios' Superman Cartoons on Saturday, July 26th. The screening will take place at 4PM in the center's Whitsell Auditorium.
Coming off the success of their Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons, Paramount Studios engaged brothers Max and Dave Fleischer to produce what ended up being some of the most ambitious theatrical animated shorts ever made. Sporting a vibrant and boldly rendered Technicolor sheen more akin to the look of the original comic book source material than any of the many Superman adaptations that followed, audiences thrilled to these dynamic animated marvels - still fresh 60 years later.
The screening is part of the Northwest Film Center's "Kaleidoscopic Visions: Animation Classics" series which features various screenings of a selection of animation classics, features, and shorts that comprise a rich international legacy.
Tickets are $6.00 (Children or NWFC Friend), $8.00 (Seniors, Students, or Portland Art Museum Member), and $9.00 (Adults).
