Celebrate Spring with Fleischer Studios: The Dog Days!

4/14/2015

Max Fleischer’s great granddog Angel, with her family Mark and Susan Fleischer. Mark (Max's grandson) is Head of Fleischer Studios.

Spring is finally here and we hope you'll join us in celebrating this long-awaited season with The Dog Days, an exciting new exhibit in our virtual Museum inspired by our love of man’s best friend!

From the nameless dog who spoke the first- ever synchronized words in animation history; to Betty Boop’s “boyfriend” Bimbo; to the real life Bimbo (the Fleischer family dog); and Angel (left) currently bringing her own special brand of canine love and affection to Max’s grandson Mark Fleischer, now Head of Fleischer Studios, and his wife Susan, dogs have always been an important part of the Fleischer Studios family.

Don't miss this fun and fascinating new exhibit featuring one of the earliest extant examples of Max Fleischer's animation plus amazing, never-seen-before footage from Fleischer family home movies (featuring Max himself and their real life dog Bimbo!), and the story of the real-life puppy who just recently joined the ranks of Fleischer dogs! It's all here.

Betty Boop helps adorable puppy get on the right foot!

Betty Boop's bandage is, quite fittingly, red!

Meet Betty Boop... the puppy!

This adorable pup, missing one of her back paws, was found wandering the streets of Chicago on a bitter, cold January day and taken to PAWS Chicago, a no-kill animal shelter, where she was given the name Betty Boop.

Later that month, Chicago's FOX 32 shared Betty's story and invited its viewers to donate towards the cost of providing Betty with a prosthetic paw - and that's where we come in.

When we at Fleischer Studios heard this story, we knew exactly what Betty Boop herself would do; and so that's exactly what we did! We reached out to PAWS and donated the entire cost for the puppy's prosthesis.

We are also very pleased to report that this sweet Betty has found her forever home and, with the help of Dr. Barbara Royal, preparations are already underway for her prosthetic paw.

For more on this story, check out the terrific follow-up on FOX 32 News which aired on April 9, 2015.

We'll keep you up to date on Betty's progress!
