Bimbo - Up To Mars

Bimbo ( the dog and future pal to Betty Boop ) finds himself trapped on the planet Mars in this 1930 classic from my personal film vault. As far as I know, you can only see it here, exclusively on Youtube. (Watch in High Quality mode)

Great cartoon! But why did you take out the copyright info and the closing title card? You should put that stuff back in for posterity.

@BoltMitch This wasn't posted to be an ultimate copy of the cartoon. If the cartoon gets put out as part of a DVD set in the future, then I'm sure that it'll be completely intact. This copy was taken as a clip from part of a show that presents often trimmed and altered versions of old movies and cartoons. The titles on the film print are not the original theatrical tiles anyway, so if you are a purist, you would have been annoyed no matter how it was posted.

@BoltMitch You should be glad that you can see it here at all.  This is probably the only chance you'll ever get to see this cartoon in any form.

A really unique obscure cartoon,

Do you have anymore early

pre Betty Boop Fleischer toons of this vintage in your film vault?

[HorrorShowHost]

No, I have several Betty Boop film prints and a copy of Bimbo's Initiation (but that one is available everywhere)

I wish that guy with the robber was me!

[Staszu13]

@BoltMitch Not him. Paramount did this years ago after they sold the Fleischer toons to TV.

Thanks for posting this rare cartoon, Host! I love classic cartoons and dabble in animation myself. You can see my cartoons on my channel. I'm gonna subscribe to your channel and send a friend request, if that's okay with you. It's good to meet someone with fine taste in animation. Fleischer toons ROCK!

I love the surreal humor of these early 30s Fleischer cartoons.

He appeared in Fleischer cartoons from 1930 to 1933, when he was eliminated from Betty's series by the Production Code censorship laws, since a dog with a human girlfriend gave implications of bestiality.

wikipedia part 2

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

Bimbo is a fictional character, a cartoon dog created by Fleischer Studios. He first appeared in the Out of the Inkwell series and was originally named Fitz.

He later became the star of Fleischer's Talkartoons series, making his first appearance as Bimbo in Hot Dog (1930). Bimbo was relegated to a supporting character when his girlfriend Betty Boop became a more popular character. The Talkartoons series became the Betty Boop series in 1932. WIKIPEDIA PART ONE

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

the 16mm showing was not like this. but i had to change batteries so i cut off the title card. i wonder if this is on DVD?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@HorrorShowHost

someone i know has it on a 16mm

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

I recently went to a 16mm film festival. they showed this. I videotaped it right off the screen but had to change the battery in the beginning. AUDIENCE REACTED LIKE THEY SHOULD.
