Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Dancing on the Moon (1935)

This is the first animated film I’ve had for the Retro SciFi Film of the Week. It was produced by Max Fleischer, who was a leading animated film producer during the first half of the 20th century. Fleischer created Betty Boop and Popeye the Sailor and was very active at inventing new techniques for animation. He is the inventor of the rotoscope, which was used throughout the 20th century for producing graphic special effects in most live action films as well cartoons.

I’ve mentioned before that there was a lot of innovation during this time, including the development of rockets by Goddard and others, and the idea of using rockets for space travel was beginning to look like a reality.

Also happening at this time was a lot of class conflict and labor unrest. The Ludlow Massacre happened just two decades prior to the making of this film. Right after this film was released animators in Fleischer’s studio, who were working in poor conditions (as many workers at the time were), staged a major strike that crippled the studio.

This short film is about a tour company that specializes in honeymoon vacations on the moon. The technique and artistry of this short film surpasses many cartoons made even today.

"Kelley began working in the industry doing menial jobs like washing film cells, but she worked her way up and Johnson said she was eventually "working elbow to elbow with #MaxFleischer, #PaulTerry and #WalterLantz, animators who were household names."

Her work as a pioneering animator was lost to history — until now | #BessieMaeKelley #Animation #HistoryOfAnimation #WomenInAnimation | NPR
