Should you miss class, it will be up to you to get the screening list and watch the films on your own. While some are online, I think we can all agree that YouTube, et al, may not be the ideal format, and it's not always a sure thing that the version you're watching hasn't been tampered with by whoever uploaded it.
Many of the films we screen in class are on DVD at the AIB Library. I can't recall if they're available for 2-day loan or not, but you can certainly watch them on your laptop with headphones right there or in the media room in the back. The sMFA Library also has a decent collection of animation DVDs, some that overlap with ours, and some that don't. Those are available for 3-day loan, I think.
Individual film titles may not appear in FLO (Fenway Libraries Online), but you can probably pull off a director search, or filter by DVD and animation, cutting out books and magazines. Sometimes googling the film title and the word "DVD" will tell you what (if any) DVDs it's available on. But FLO is your friend, too:

Also, here's a tiny introduction to Max Fleischer. Just watch the first 80 seconds:
