=== Home video === Most of the Fleischer color titles have been widely available on video since the 1980s, often on inexpensive videotapes sold in supermarkets and discount stores. Animation fans, the [[UCLA Film and Television Archive]], and more recently the Max Fleischer estate and Paramount Pictures (via the Republic/Melange library) have worked to release high-quality restored editions of the Fleischer cartoons. These have also been made available on pay-cable, home video, [[DVD]], and online on [[YouTube]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inkwellimagesink.com/|title=Products β Inkwell Images β Classic Cartoons on DVD|website=www.inkwellimagesink.com|access-date=June 8, 2017}}</ref> Many of these restored versions now include the original front-and-end Paramount titles. Most of the silent Fleischer titles from the ''Out of the Inkwell''/''Inkwell Imps'' series have entered the public domain. An official ''Betty Boop'' [[VHS]] set, ''Betty Boop Confidential'', was released by Republic Pictures in 1995, included several black-and-white ''Betty Boop'' cartoons as well as Betty's only color appearance, ''Poor Cinderella''. There have been several video releases for the ''Superman'' series. These include a 1991 VHS set produced by Bosko Video, titled ''The Complete Superman Collection: Golden Anniversary Edition β The Paramount Cartoon Classics of Max & Dave Fleischer'' released as two volumes which featured transfers from 35mm prints. It was reissued on DVD as ''The Complete Superman Cartoons β Diamond Anniversary Edition'' in 2000 by [[Image Entertainment]], and ''Superman Adventures'' in 2004 by Platinum Disc Corporation. A third (and more "official") compilation using restored and remastered materials was released in November 2006 by [[Warner Home Video]] as part of their DVD [[Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition|box set of Superman films]]. In 2009, Warner gave these Superman shorts their own stand-alone 2-disc DVD release, ''Max Fleischer's Superman: 1941β1942''. Olive Films, under exclusive license from Melange/Viacom, acquired the rights to the 66 non-public domain Betty Boop cartoons, and released four volumes of ''Betty Boop'' DVDs and Blu-rays.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.classicflix.com/olive-complete-list-republic-titles-a-1281.html?osCsid=2717598963bc659fda28833f978d5353|title=ClassicFlix|website=www.classicflix.com|access-date=June 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527070056/http://www.classicflix.com/olive-complete-list-republic-titles-a-1281.html?osCsid=2717598963bc659fda28833f978d5353|archive-date=May 27, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> Warner Home Video has released all of the Fleischer Popeye cartoons in three volumes as part of the ''[[Popeye the Sailor (film series)|Popeye the Sailor]]'' DVD collection. VCI Entertainment/Kit Parker Films' DVD compilation of all the ''Color Classics'' (except ''The Tears of an Onion''), entitled ''Somewhere In Dreamland'', was released in 2003. It includes only a fraction of shorts remastered from 35mm film, but otherwise taken from the best available sources Kit Parker could provide VCI, and digitally recreating the original front-and-end Paramount titles. Animation archivist [[Jerry Beck]] served as consultant for this box set, as well as providing audio commentary for select shorts. VCI Entertainment also released a DVD compilation of all the public domain ''Popeye'' cartoons (both Fleischer and Famous) entitled ''Popeye the Sailor Man Classic Cartoons: 75th Anniversary Collector's Edition'' in 2004. In [[Japan]], ''Mr. Bug Goes to Town'' was released on DVD in April 2010 by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] as part of the [[Studio Ghibli]]'s [[Ghibli Museum Library]] collection.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/classic/disney-releases-fleischers-mr-bug-in-japan-45528.html|title=Disney releases Fleischer's "Mr. Bug" - in Japan!|first=Jerry|last=Beck|date=July 2, 2011|website=Cartoon Brew}}</ref>
