Republic Entertainment should be indicted for cultural crimes since they refuse to release first-generation prints of Max and Dave Fleischer’s “Color Classics” series. As a result of this neglect, VCI and Kit Parker Films have compiled “Somewhere in Dreamland” – a shapely collection of public-domain Fleischer cartoons from 1934 to 1941. Most of the “Color Classics” are represented in this two-DVD place, with the print quality ranging from suitable to unpleasant. The series contains several Fleischer gems, including Betty Boop’s “Abominable Cinderella” (1934), “The Kids in the Shoe” (1935), “The Cobweb Hotel” (1936), “All’s Glorious at the Attractive” (1938) and “Ants in the Plants” (1940) . Though influenced by the success of Disney’s “Laughable Symphonies,” the Fleischer spirit is evident in many “Color Classics,” particularly the lesser-known entries such as “Chicken Ala King” (1936), “A Car-Tune Portrait” (1936) and “Acquire It!” (1937) . The DVD space also features two Oscar-nominated shorts, “Educated Fish” (1937) and “Hunky and Spunky” (1938), which are luscious but do not narrate the Fleischers’ best work. Until Republic gets its act together, “Somewhere in Dreamland” will remain the definitive “Color Classics” collection and is highly recommended to aficionados of vintage animation.
This collection represents a quest to track down every one of the 36 Fleischer Studios `Color Classics’ cartoon series. There are 35 of them on these two disks. One of the `Color Classics’, “Time For Appreciate” has only survived in a single gloomy and white print found in Europe (this was seven years ago and a color version has since turned up) . The only `Color Classics’ cartoon not included is “Tears Of An Onion” which is explained as not being here because “it is under copyright and therefore not in `public domain’” This explains a lot because obviously Jerry Beck and company are on a budget. Despite the unpleasant condition of some of the prints included here, there are two processes that I know of that are worn to transfer film to video and/or digital; one is a frame-by-frame reader that takes the image directly off of the film for maximum clarity and color but it is a dreary process and is costly. Scrutinize at the worthy Disney collection of `Silly Symphonies’ if you want to inspect how it should be done. The second process which seems to be frail by all other DVD/VHS collections of cartoons I’ve seen, including this one, is projecting the film onto a reader cloak that will inevitably shave a small off the top, bottom and sides of the image and loses some image and color integrity. The result is one we cartoon affectionados are becoming traditional to in VHS and DVD collections, kinda sad and kinda fuzzy and it makes you wish you could have been there at the theater at the time. But for now this is all we’re going to derive. I’ve watched this one several times now anyway though.
