Seven minutes : the life and death of the American animated cartoon

From the first talking Mickeys to the demise of Warners and MGM theatrical production, Seven Minutes provides an enthralling social history and aesthetic appreciation of the animated cartoon's controlled anarchy. Norman M. Klein follows the scrambling graphics and upside down ballet of Fleischer's Betty Boop, Popeye and Superman, the Wolfie cartoons by Tex Avery and the Bugs, Daffy, Tweety and Roadrunner cartoons from Warners
