(Dave Fleischer, 1927-1938, United States, 60 min, in English)
NEWLY RESTORED IN 4K, THE CARTOONS OF MAX AND DAVE FLEISCHER ARE RETURNING TO THE FORUM!
After a smashing (and smooching) Valentines Day special, Betty, Koko, Bimbo, and all of your favorite Fleischer friends are returning to Northwest Film Forum for another go-around with YOU! With selections from all kinds of eras and styles that the Fleischer Brothers were known for innovating, this “Greatest Hits” program will have you singing, laughing, and maybe even moving your limbs like spaghetti (no promises on that last one).
All cartoons are family friendly, so bring your kids, grandkids, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, estranged cousins, anyone who you think might have a fun time with the Fleischers (and let’s be real, that’s just about anyone who likes to have fun).
Betty Boop and Grampy (1935, 7min)
Betty Boop and some friends go to Grampy’s house for a party.
Koko’s Klock (1927, 6min)
Max asks Ko-Ko to act as his alarm clock before going to sleep. While Max sleeps, Ko-Ko goes to work dressing Max for the next day and replacing his surroundings so he’ll be ready to go when the alarm clock rings in the morning.
I’m In The Army Now (1936, 6min)
Olive tells Popeye and Bluto that she loves a man in a uniform, so they try to sign up at the recruiting station – that can only take one of them.
Mother Goose Land (1933, 7min)
Betty, while reading a book of Mother Goose stories, wishes she could visit such a wonderful place. Betty’s wish is granted when Mother Goose appears, and gives her a tour of Mother Goose Land. Betty has a wonderful time until Little Miss Muffet’s spider chases her, with lecherous ends in mind. All of the characters come to Betty’s rescue. Betty wakes up in bed with all the fairy tale characters surrounding her.
Dinah (1933, 8min)
The Mills Brothers perform the title song with Bouncing Ball; cartoon animals load and sail the cargo ship ‘Dinah Lee’ to Mills music.
The Tears of An Onion (1938, 7min)

Betty Boop’s Bizzy Bee (1932, 7min)
Everyone loves the wheat cakes served by short-order cook Betty, but they have a drawback. With Bimbo and Koko; no bee is involved.
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum’s ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21″ wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19″ wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at suji@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
Made possible due to a grant from Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, in partnership with Sensory Access, our Sensory Access document presents a visual and descriptive walk-through of the NWFF space. View it in advance of attending an in-person event at bit.ly/nwffsocialnarrativepdf, in order to prepare yourself for the experience.
NWFF patrons will be strongly encouraged to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.
