Fleischer brothers

U.S. animators. Max Fleischer (b. July 19, 1883, Vienna, Austria—d. Sept. 11, 1972, Woodland Hills, Calif., U.S.) and his brother Dave Fleischer (b. July 14, 1894, New York, N.Y., U.S.—d. June 25, 1979, Hollywood, Calif.) worked as newspaper cartoonists before founding their own studio in 1921 to make animated cartoons. In the mid-1920s they produced the first sound-on-film animations. They later created and produced the popular cartoon series Betty Boop (1931–39), Popeye the Sailor (1929–42), and Superman (1941–42) and the feature-length cartoon Gulliver's Travels (1939).

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] 10 FLEISCHER BROTHERS CARTOONS Dark, quirky, and surreal, Fleischer Brothers cartoons have their own brand of humor.
The cartoon version of Jonathan Swift's tale was created by the Fleischer brothers - Max and Dave - who were also behind Betty Boop and Popeye.
Little Hoppity's movie failed so dismally, rival studio Paramount was able to seize control of the Fleischer Studios (home of Betty Boop and the best Popeye cartoons) and fire the Fleischer brothers, ending the work of great animation ideas men.
