An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Popeye Follies: His Times and Life, the 1970s Max Fleischer Popeye The Sailor animated animation cartoon festival featuring Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, Rita Rio and Her Orchestra, James Cagney in Footlight Parade, Will Rogers as The Audience, Al Jolson in Mammy, The World Famous Zither Players, The Inflatable Rubber Suit, Zachinni-The Human Cannonball, Wolfman and Laurie Becool, and the Brightest Teeth in the East. Note that Max Fleischer (along with his brother Dave) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount ceased control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over.
