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).
