Popular Science | 35mm | Fleischer Studios Behind The Scenes | 1938 | Max Fleischer Popeye Cartoon

[@bigguy952]

Seeing this makes one appreciate the hard work Cuphead went through since the art style was based on these old cartoons when it was such a short staff. And also how far technology had come for stuff like this

[@TheVeryBlondeOne]

In the original aspect ratio, too. The stereoptical process looked quite innovative yet practical. I hope Shield Pictures has a chance to reprint some of the Popular Science DVDs. 😊

[@andrewscungio3200]

In this film, you will go behind the scenes of the making of Popeye, the sailor man in aladdin and his wonderful lamp, which was released on April 7th, 1939 (85 years ago).

[@leoguy1979]

Max Fleicher was definitely one of my many inspirations growing up and wanting to get into animation. It was always the dream but it never happened. I still draw cartoons and still think one day I will turn my characters into cartoons.

[@jogendrapradhan3094]

I wish you luck my man 😊

[@holoarcade]

with a computer at home and the talent you have one can do so much, try experimenting!

[@ajanimation8239]

And sadly, only a few years after this behind the scenes look came out, the Fleischers went out of business and their assets were acquired by Paramount.

[@Silencebound]

I loved this shortest wonderful documentary. We'd wishes there is more Fleischer short docs than this one.

[@FleischerToons]

We do too! Thanks for posting!

[@Ender4175]

I've been a huge Popeye fan my whole life same for animation and its processes. This so greatly makes me appreciate the giants leaps we've made in animation, especially over the last few years. We owe so much to Fleischer Studios for paving the path and creating such groundbreaking works.

[@f.d.3289]

Awesome! Although I knew how cel animation and Max's stereoscopic camera worked, it was wonderful to see them in action. Short and yet so informative. Thanks for the upload :D

[@KevCraven]

So great to see this in high quality! One of my favourite videos

[@fauxwarpentertainment5781]

One of my favorite videos on the internet! So fascinating to see how much time and effort went into every single step.

[@davaotripsters]

Shield Pictures currently owns this Popular Science documentary, while Turner Entertainment Co. / Warner Bros. Pictures and King Features Entertainment currently owns for Popeye cartoon, Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (even though this cartoon is now in public domain). Additionally, the footage of Popeye as Aladdin later used in Famous Studios cartoon, Popeye's Premiere (1949) (even though this Popeye cartoon is still under copyright by Warner Bros.).

[@FleischerToons]

We have clearance from Shields Pictures to share. Thank you for the info

[@jessejohnson3.24]

these cel tutorial animation is great

[@Fazbear-official]

What if Max Fleischer made SpongeBob paramount will be approved.😂

[@AislanFreuly]

Que trabalho incrível e trabalhoso, quanta gente pra ciar um desenho, muito show!!

[@That_AMC_Guy]

In glorious two-strip Cinecolor!! 😁

[@gunier.j.kintgenanimations]

Do you know if anyone has done a comparison between this documentary's preview, & the final Technicolor print? I'd love to see it!

[@yelloweyeball]

I think its interesting thay they are using round pegs. Did they switch to Acme and bottom pegs when they worked on Guliver and they imported a bunch of ex west coast guys? I wonder. I remember reading that Shamus Culhane almost got in a fight with a fleischer camera operator after making fun of how much exposure he was using.

[@filipebeat]

amazin Popeye one of d funniest thangs iv eva seen X D s2

[@InfinityFunnies]

3:59 - 4:19 Unused scene from Always Kickin'. I wonder why it wasn't used?

[@MickPosch]

One of my jobs back in the Eighties was as an animation cameraman. But the art was placed on a horizontal surface with the camera pointing down...that thing they've got here that swings up to a vertical position for each exposure is really bizarre.

[@garali1973]

4:10 I wonder what the scene with the bird came from

[@KrakenMan5853]

From the 1936 two-reeler "Popeye the Sailor vs. Sinbad the Sailor".

[@walmaker8372]

@@KrakenMan5853 No, I've watched the cartoon multiple times and yet there's not a single bit of that scene. Maybe it's a deleted scene.

[@55twintv39]

This came out in 1939 not 1938.

[@TimmyBoudreau]

John W. Burton, I wonder if he’s a family member of Tim Burton. Since they both do stop-motion.

[@elietedarce1266]

Good restoration/transfer! If you allow me, I see that restorations from 1930's Kodachrome use to keep the original Kodachrome look, as the color are not perfect, characteristic of all Kodachrome films of that era, just like we see in rare WWII 16mm color films. Is that possible to color correct digitaly to bring the colors to look close to a modern color film in saturation and hue reproduction?

[@AGoodJoe]

Brilliant

[@nostalgiamostalgia0319]

1:17 is that John Walworth?

[@JestersAnimation]

amazing!

[@Graxu132]

Meanwhile studio mappa 💀💀

[@ThoughtsOfGood2911]

Un trabajo extraordinario!! 🤯

[@CrispyA113]

This is the year after Walt Disney made Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs The First Ever Animated Movie Fleischer was Making Gullivers Travels

[@CrispyA113]

5:16 hey I thought the voices are recorded before the animation was done

[@aziliman1402]

Cool animation cel and background, thay should be on ebay🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mrpelon1000]

Dope 👍🏽

[@525Lines]

Do you rely on original cels and backgrounds to help correct color? I don't know how much of that, if any survive.

[@thehernandezmediacorporation]

There was some surviving artwork for their recent restoration of Christmas Comes But Once A Year (1936)

[@WonderStorieProductions]

would anyone happen to know what the disc with the pegs are called? I'd love to create some cartoons of my own!

[@elietedarce1266]

Women paint backgrounds and fill ink on acetate sheet. Why we never see women working as animators in documenraries about old cartoons studios?

[@FleischerToons]

Fleischers had Lilian Friedman, look her up
