In this specially curated package of vintage family-friendly cartoons from the 1920s and 30s by animation pioneer Max Fleischer, the emphasis is on love and romance. Featuring Betty Boop & Bimbo the dog, Popeye the Sailor Man and what is probably the first ever instance of the “moonwalk” move that would become Michael Jackson’s signature move.
