History WesternAnimation / Talkartoons

* DerangedAnimation: Typical of the Fleischers' work, some of these shorts are just plain nutty, especially compared to Disney's product from around the same time. "WesternAnimation/SwingYouSinners!" and "WesternAnimation/BimbosInitiation" are some of the best examples.

* FollowTheLeader: The series was obviously made to cash in the sound cartoon craze kicked off by ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie'' and the ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies'' shorts. Fortunately, the Fleischers still stuck to their surreal, newspaper cartoon-esque roots in these cartoons, unlike what came later down the road.

* ArtEvolution: The earliest shorts had a stiff, paper cut-out like feeling to the animation, a holdover from the Fleischers' work on their ''OutOfTheInkwell'' cartoons (as well as the first ScreenSongs). This was immediately done away with as soon as they got GrimNatwick on board the staff, who helped beef up the animation of the Fleischer cartoons considerably.

* BreakoutCharacter: BettyBoop, who eventually got her own series.
