 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Out of the Inkwell: The Fleischer Story—a short documentary—looks at the Fleischer brothers, Max and Dave, and their innovative animation techniques through Popeye, Betty Boop, and Koko the Clown. The documentary is well done, but does not tell the real reason for the brothers to break up their empire.
