Charles Mintz Krazy Kat cartoons. Impossible to see anywhere.
This is your only chance there is no where else you are going to be able to see these very rare cartoons. It would be my guess that we have Michael Schlesinger to thank for this treat. Thank you Michael! Don`t miss this one folks.

KRAZY KAT
Rare 1930s Columbia Pictures Cartoons Unseen in over 70 years!
George Herriman's Krazy Kat was one of the first comic strip characters adapted to animated cartoons (starting in 1916!). When the cat made the transition to talkie cartoons, she became a he - as well as a little more Mickey and lot less Herriman - in the process.
Krazy was featured in a long-running series of black and white sound cartoons produced by Columbia Pictures Corp. beginning in 1929 (and ending in 1939). This program will present many rare original Charles Mintz Krazy Kat cartoons in 35mm - newly restored by Columbia Pictures - including several that were never distributed to television or seen since their original release. This is one for the hard core cartoon buffs - and anyone else who loves funny, bouncy, pre-code musical cartoons from the 1930s. Don't miss this rare classic cartoon event!
