Just re-read Jerry Beck's September 23 post on Cartoon Research reminding the gang at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog that tomorrow night (Saturday, October 2nd), Turner Classic Movies shall spotlight an animation program curated by Tommy Stathes of Cartoons On Film.
TCM will present a four-hour program, including a tribute to the groundbreaking animation of the Fleischer Studio, beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST with the documentary Cartoon Carnival.
The film delves into the history of pre-Steamboat Willie animated cartoons.
That will be followed at 9:45 EST by The 100th Anniversary of Fleischer Animation – Part 1: The Silent Era.
The cool lineup of vintage restorations is as follows:
The Boxing Kangaroo (Bray, 1920)
Reunion (1922)
Cartoon Factory (1924)
Vacation (1924)
Come Take a Trip in My Airship (1924) one of the actual, original Koko Song Cartunes, with 1930s reissue soundtrack
It’s the Cat’s (1926)
At 10:45 p.m. EST, Turner Classic Movies will present The 100th Anniversary of Fleischer Animation – Part 2: The Sound Era, curated by Tommy and Steve Stanchfield. Brand spanking new Stathes and Stanchfield restorations will be on hand.
The program is as follows:
Hurry Doctor! (1931) – the rarely seen Texaco sponsored film
Betty Boop’s Crazy Inventions (1933)
Let’s Sing With Popeye (1934)
Betty Boop and Grampy (1935)
Dancing On the Moon (1935)

This is an outstanding lineup of Fleischer Studio animation goodness. Ladies and gentlemen, set your DVRS, tablets, smart phones and streaming devices. Thanks Tommy, Steve and Turner Classic Movies!
