The Lowdown on the Plus-Up Episode Ten: Folks Here’s a Story ‘Bout Minnie the Watcher — Fleischer Land

If you take a left turn around 1929, you end up here: where the jazz band triumphed over the orchestra, where sexy usurped formal, where a very different theme park empire began, and died.

Kelly and Pete take a step across dimensions to visit a theme park based around Koko the Clown, Betty Boop, Popeye and Superman.

Welcome to Fleischer Land. Keep an eye out for hidden Bettys!

Koko the Clown
