The Color Classics, 1934 to 1941

The series Fleischer made to answer Disney's Silly Symphonies, in colour, from 1934 to 1941. Thirty-one shorts across seven years, and the picture visibly improves from one to the next as two-strip Cinecolor gives way to full Technicolor.

31 titles, about 234 minutes. Max Fleischer, Dave Fleischer.
