Fleischer at Classic Cartoons

It's rare that I would post about something from another blog, but for the past couple of weeks the gang over at Classic Cartoons have been posting animation stills from the Fleischer Color Classics. Notably "Tears of an Onion," which I have never seen, and "Play Safe," which I had on VHS when I was a kid. I wish I could see the onion one, but it's supposedly still under copyright protection. I love the sequence in "Play Safe" where the trains are about to crash. It actually repeats over and over again with the trains whistling at each other for a good 30 seconds as they are barreling towards each other. Please hop on over and have a look for yourself. I love the visual style of the Fleischer cartoons...they are both cute and bizarre, which I find appealing.

I tried to find them in e-mule a week ago and didn't find them...

I found "The snow man" (¡GREAT!), made in 1940 from "Terrytoons" and a pair of Betty Boop (in one of them appears with Popeye dancing "hula hula").

Got to try harder...
