- Musical Memories (U.S., 1935)
Directors: Dave Fleischer, Seymour Kneitel.
Familiar radio tunes such as “The Sidewalks of New York” and “Little Annie Rooney” inspire an older married couple to dust off their hand-held stereoscope device and bring the audience into a 3D reminiscence of their life. This is courtesy of producer/inventor Max Fleischer’s patent-pending “Stereoptical”/“Setback” process, which placed animation cels in front of a rotating miniature set. As the final two-color system short from Fleischer Studios (Disney’s exclusive rights to three-strip Technicolor expired that September), Musical Memories demonstrates an interest in formal exploration with color and beyond.-Russell Zych

Spectacular use of the Fleischer Studio's "set back" 3D effect!
Max received his patent for his "stereoptical" process {#2054414} in September 1936.
The use of a real set background to allude to the stereoscopic photos the old couple is looking through is phenomenally clever!
And now grandparents feel this way when 70s music plays!
Beautiful short. Don't know of any earlier animated works that touch upon nostalgia and bittersweet reflection like this. The backgrounds are only the cherry on top to be frank. Fleischer were truly the masters.
I wonder if this inspired the first part of Up for Pixar.
Finally, a copy of this short in watchable quality! Now you can really see those Stereoptical models sparkle!
YES!
The story is so heartwarming!
One of my favorite Fleischer cartoons. thank you very much for the restoration
Always loved this cartoon -
Beautiful restoration! Thanks so much for making this available.
The first time I watched it on TV, all the colours were almost faded to sepia. Thank you very much for this beautiful restoration in its original colours!
Television really did a number to these often out of careless spite in regards to commercial interest and contractual obligations in regards to ownership of the library.
@@ChristopherSobieniak Consider that out of the USA they were used in order only to fill the program of small TV stations, so the copies that we watched were bad, unauthorized prints...
The U.M.&M./NTA TV prints were in *Eastmancolor* - and were quite inferior to the original prints.
whoa i didn't know they did this background technique for anything but popeye.
this is like a whole tech demo for it though.
Many of these "Color Classics" used these to great effect.
Maybe now we can see this on MeTv Toons!
Nicely made cartoon and love the story line which is snapshots of memories of that couple ovcr the years, love the fact they used a stereoscope too. Haha spotted old time entertainer Jimmy Durante making a cameo appearance at 2:25 in the cartoon, that was very unexpected! I particularly love the cutting edge animation techniques they used having a real model set with the animated cartoon characters and the panning camera across the model set with the 2D cartoon characters superimposed on it giving the cartoon a real 3D feel to it, also I am very fascinated with 2 strip colour as it gives some interesting colour palettes depending on what colour combinations used which is often red and blue-green or orange and blue-cyan. I used to watch a lot these kind of cartoons as a kid in the early 90s on VHS cassette, we had commercial release VHS tape compiles of all sorts of random 30s-40s era cartoons like this and they were entertaining. From a now perspective the technical innovations of them have renewed my interest in watching them again as an adult!
That was supposed to be Alfred E. Smith {"The Brown Derby"}, with the raspy voice and big stogie who was Governor of New York in the late 1920's.
Max filmed his "Color Classics" in two-color Technicolor, because Walt Disney had the exclusive rights to film his "Silly Symphonies" in *three-color* Techncolor from 1933 through 1935.
Amazing restoration. Hope to see more color classic restorations soon!
I love this so much!
Another unscathed restoration, beautiful.
Nice Restoration I Wish You Can Do More
Excellent! I hope to see more of your preservations!
5:39 Great job with the silence here.
wonder thats how Jack Kirby used the technique of rotoscoping his art, combining his art with collages.
If memory serves, the Fleischer brothers were using the Cinecolor process around this time, but would switch to Technicolor later on; thus the somewhat different colors. They were the only ones who could rival Disney in technical animation production in that era; too bad what Barney Balaban and Paramount had in store for them.
Rare!
Lindo demais!
I guess this is where Nostalgia from Inside Out 2 does her job.
4:56 so THAT's why they call 'em handlebars!
Daisy daisy......
While looking at memories maybe nice it only depends on how you live
Aging worries me
cool beans yo
Cool cool cool cool cool. Noice.
07:19 - save for retirement and you can have a house like this.
What, a giant mountain?
@@gunier.j.kintgenanimations corrected to 07:00
A diorama?
0:54 NBC radio
Their radio isn't that much of an antique for 1935. 1920 model?
Probably. Their past is meant to reflect the time around the 1890's.
Upcoming Video: Snooze Reel (1951)
Who's the guy at 2:28? Some radio star I know nothing about, I'm sure.
Pretty sure it's Jimmy Durante
It’s Jimmy Durante. Known as “the great schnozola”
Definitely Jimmy Durante those familiar with him can spot him a mile away!
*ALFRED E. SMITH.* Beloved Governor of New York, and most associated with "Sidewalks of New York".
@@fromthesidelines oh, it might be. It kinda looks more like Jimmy Durante to me
The thing I hate is living to die naturally
Who owns the spoken voice on the radio
The dean of radio announcers at the time- David Ross.
It should be in 4K.
Cinecolor
Pls, don’t watermark content. If it’s in public domain, then why the need for a watermark?
Is a way so people dont steal their videos
@@doctortemato Um, ‘public domain’.
Apparently 2-color Technicolor. The animation is actually not very good compared to Disney or MGM, which surprised me.
I fully disagree. The animation is beautiful and the backgrounds are positively absolutely amazing! Also, I say animation departments for various companies should do away with cgi and use this method of hand drawn animation with 3d model backgrounds. As someone who just got an antique stereoscope viewer and a bunch of cards and is absolutely in love with 1800s fashion and music and photography, this short is now one of my absolute favorite things. And bonus points for the Jimmy Durante cameo 😂.
@@TheoTheTimeTravelingMagicianIn fairness the Fleischer Studio was in New York and had a different approach to animation they developed separate from the West Coast with minimal feedback from the other side.
@@ChristopherSobieniakyep!
