Swing You Sinners at the Archive
Today was a busy day at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive. Marc Deckter and Marc Crisafulli were in to help scan and back up videos. Dan Goodsell was in with a new batch of amazing artwork from the Ray Patin studios to digitize. And we digitized an important Fleischer film for inclusion in our database...
Swing, You Sinners was the first of Fleischer's legendary series of cartoons dealing with surrealism, cartoony ghosts and goblins, and hot jazz. Ted Sears, Grim Natwick and Willard Bowsky animated it, and I guarantee after watching it, it'll be your new favorite cartoon.
The best thing is that the copy we have in the archive was preserved by ASIFA-Hollywood's Animation Preservation Program.
