Some years back, I attended a program of cartoons from the Fleischer Brothers studio. The program called the works of producer Max and director Dave as "acid trips in pen and ink." I never forgot that quote.
Disney may have had a better technique, artistry, and technological innovations, but the Fleischers had Cab Calloway. This is my favorite of the Fleischers' work. Note how Koko's movements match Calloway's precisely. Damn good animation by Roland Crandall.
