Strike One:
Tom Sito Blog has a story today marking the 70th Anniversary of Animation Artists going on strike for the first time (against the Max Fleischer Studio in New York). To follow that theme a little farther here is question # 17 from the final I am giving my
Laguna College of Art and Design Students tomorrow.
17. Why did the Fleischer Studio close?
- a. Dave Fleischer`s gambling and womanizing outraged Paramount
- b. Gulliver`s Travels and Hoppity Goes to Town Tanked
- c. they ran up big debts moving the studio to Florida to get away from unions
- d. All of the above
I will give you the answer after Monday`s class.
