Pobre Cinderela

Rather than making animated backgrounds using drawings the Fleischers pioneered the idea of using either models or cutouts mounted on a turntable. The table was slowly spun and photographed. The foreground animation was then placed in front of the photographed backgrounds. This not only saved hundred of hours of drawing but also lent a 3D effect to the back ground. It was used here and in numerous "Popeye" cartoons.

One 1980s VHS release of "Poor Cinderella" has the entire color cartoon presented in black-and-white.

Edited into Betty Boop Confidential (1995)
