Editing Fleischer Studios (section)

== Legacy and influence ==
The [[Rubber hose animation|loose, improvisatory animation]], frequently [[Surrealism|surreal]] action generally termed "The New York Style" (particularly in films such as ''[[Snow White (Betty Boop cartoon)|Snow White]]'' and ''[[Bimbo's Initiation]]''), grungy atmosphere, and racy [[pre-Code]] content of the early Fleischer Studios cartoons have been a major influence on many [[Underground comix|underground]] and [[Alternative comics|alternative]] cartoonists. [[Kim Deitch]], [[Robert Crumb]], [[Jim Woodring]], and [[Al Columbia]] are among the creators who have specifically acknowledged their inspiration. Much of [[Richard Elfman]]'s 1980 [[cult film]] ''[[Forbidden Zone]]'' is a live action [[pastiche]] of the early Fleischer Studios style. The Fleischer style was also used in the 1995 animated series ''[[The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat]]''. The studio's art style and surreal atmosphere was a central influence on the indie game ''[[Cuphead]]'', with the studio being described as "magnetic north" for the game's art style.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://killscreendaily.com/articles/where-did-cuphead-come/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808040730/http://killscreendaily.com/articles/where-did-cuphead-come/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 8, 2014|title=Where Did Cuphead Come From?|website=www.killscreendaily.com|access-date=October 4, 2017}}</ref> [[Genndy Tartakovsky]] has also cited the works of the studio as a major inspiration for the look of his 2023 animated series ''[[Unicorn: Warriors Eternal]]''.
