Fleischer Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Max Fleischer went on to become an employee of the Jam Handy studio, and Isadore Sparber, Dan Gordon, and Max Fleischer's son-in-law Seymour Kneitel became the new heads of the studio, which was moved from Miami back to New York by 1943. The Fleischers were never a major force in the industry again, but their films and characters have remained popular, and by the 1980s, the Fleischers were recognized as the animation pioneers that they were. The copyright for the Fleischers' cartoons was not renewed by Famous or Paramount, and as a result the majority of the Fleischers' cartoons entered the public domain. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fleischer_Studios   (1692 words)

Dave Fleischer The Fleischer brothers were sons of an Austrian tailor who took his family to America in 1887, and they completed their first cartoon film in 1915. The cinematic world of the mid-1930s Fleischer cartoons was urban, gritty, dark, and obsessed with sex and death; it was the opposite of Disney's rural, bright, and colourful image of the world. Early Popeye cartoons were characterized by typical Fleischer idiosyncrasies: as the studio's characters were not "set" by model sheets until the mid-1930s, their physical characteristics changed from film to film depending on which team of animators drew them. theoscarsite.com /whoswho2/fleischer_d.htm   (723 words)

Dave Fleischer - Biography - Moviefone A cutter at Pathé Films in the early teens, Dave Fleischer and his brother Max made the first of their imaginative "Out of the Inkwell" cartoons starring Koko the Clown for Paramount in 1916. In the '30s, the Fleischers had even greater success with their beloved characters Betty Boop (Boop-Ooop-A-Doop, Is My Palm Red?) and Popeye the Sailor (Beware of Barnacle Bill, Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor). After leaving Paramount, Dave Fleischer became head of animation at Columbia until 1944; afterwards, he served as a gag writer for live-action comedies at Universal into the late 1950s. movies.aol.com /celebrity/dave-fleischer/89962/biography   (197 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Max Fleischer Studio Fleischer's "Out of the Inkwell" series (relatively little of which actually wound up being rotoscoped) quickly rose to prominence among the Bray offerings. When, in 1921, Max and Dave Fleischer formed a partnership to produce animated films on their own (with Max as producer and Dave as director), the Bray studio lost its brightest light. Another Fleischer invention, the Three-Dimensional Setback (a tiny stage with animation cels hung in front, creating a startlingly three-dimensional effect) was every bit as effective as Disney's multi-plane camera. www.toonopedia.com /fleischr.htm   (831 words)

ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Biopedia: FLEISCHER, Dave Dave Tendlar, an animator for the Fleischer’s, said that “Dave Fleischer’s theory was that every scene should have a gag; nobody should animate a scene without a gag.” Sight gags were important to Dave. Dave went on to California to be the head of Screen Gems as an executive producer. Dave was one of five brothers and one sister. www.animationarchive.org /bio/2005/12/fleischer-dave.html   (1142 words)

Special Collections Manuscripts - Margaret Herrick Library - Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences David Fleischer (1894-1979) was born in New York City and was working as a film editor for Pathé by 1913. Fleischer was nominated for an Academy Award for the animated short subject Imagination (Columbia, 1943). The Dave Fleischer Collection spans the years 1933-1975 (bulk 1941-1975) and encompasses 0.5 linear feet. www.oscars.org /mhl/sc/fleischer_41.html   (304 words)

Directed By Dave Fleischer - Animation Show Forums Whenever a particularly corny gag took place in a cartoon, they turned to each other and said "Dave Fleischer." Both were pretty definite in oral histories that I did with them that Dave's contribution was not the decisive one. He did give Dave credit for coming in to him with a piece of sheet music with Helen Kane on the cover and asking him to develop a character based on Kane. Dave, of course, maintained that he was by far the person most responsible for the output of the studio, but Dave himself was an unreliable source. www.animationshow.com /forums/index.php?showtopic=1916   (812 words)

ArtandCulture Artist: Max Fleischer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Brothers Max and Dave Fleischer, the sons of European immigrants, arrived in New York City in 1887. As the studio grew, the Fleischers expanded their line to include Popeye and an animated adaptation of the classic “Gulliver’s Travels.” On the tail of these '30s successes, they were contracted in 1941 to animate a new comic book character created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Seigel. While the Fleischers’ animated body of work is quite remarkable, their legacy has been their influence on future animators. www.artandculture.com /cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACLive.woa/wa/artist?id=565   (949 words)

ToxicUniverse.com - Dave Fleischer - 1939 - Gulliver's Travels (1939) Movies Review He didn't have the facilities: The move to Miami may have solved his labor difficulties (one of the primary reasons for relocation), but it was far from the filmmaking centers of Hollywood and New York, and lacked the kind of facilities easily found in those capitals. Fleischer, ironically, had been the one to validate the "Disney's Folly" wags' concerns. Max and Dave Fleischer, meanwhile, would make one more attempt to challenge Disney's primacy in feature films, but it was increasingly obvious that they had neither the talent, the resources, nor the understanding of successful feature technique to bring it off. www.toxicuniverse.com /review.php?rid=10002976   (1553 words)

GAC Forums - Fleischer Directors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The Fleischers obviously noted his superior ability at handling menace (and trying to scare the kids in the audience, as with the ending of "Popular Melodies") made him the one to handle the Popeye two-reelers, where a stronger story line was needed than the straight gag cartoons that Kneitel specialized in. As far as Crandall leaving Fleischer is concerned, it would seem largely due to the emotional issues connected to the deteriorating relationship between the brothers. This made Max and Dave employees of Paramount, and continued until May 1942, when their stock and control of the studio was supposed to have been returned. www.goldenagecartoons.com /forums/showthread.php?p=37651   (5155 words)

Last check: 2007-11-02) In 1941, cartoonist-brothers Max and Dave Fleischer launched their most ambitious project to date, the very elaborate and expensive SUPERMAN cartoon series for Paramount Studios. A Fleischer brothers cartoon is a work of art and this looked like a bad copy of a copy. Of course, as with most Fleischer DVD releases, duplication is also an issue, as all of these cartoons are featured on several other DVD releases. www.amazon.com /Animated-World-Max-Dave-Fleischer/dp/B00006IQ9X   (1180 words)

Last check: 2007-11-02) Superman's very function as a character in these highly dramatic and richly colored fables is both defending the overbearing, urban progressiveness and capital excesses of a young 20th century while also reassuring us that progress is not as indomitable as a man--at least a Superman. Renowned animators Max and Dave Fleischer spent over $100,000 to produce each of these catoons and every one has been transferred from mint 35mm prints to insure the finest possible quality. However, it should be noted that the Fleischers were responsible for the first 10 Superman cartoons (including "Japoteurs"), with the remaining shorts produced by Famous Studios during 1942-43. www.amazon.com /Superman-Cartoons-Max-Dave-Fleischer/dp/6305078955   (1921 words)

The Animated World of Max & Dave Fleischer: Superman and Popeye | Classic Movie and TV Reviews | SCI FI Weekly Although their names are perhaps not as instantly recognizable as Walt Disney, Max and Dave Fleischer continue to inspire present-day animators, with traces of their inimitable style evident in productions ranging from Batman: The Animated Series to the images of such Japanese anime masters as Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy) and Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away). The Animated World of Max and Dave Fleischer: Superman and Popeye provides a revelatory glimpse into their amazing and impressive oeuvre, offering both entertainment and subtle education in a manner that, notwithstanding a few minor packaging and presentation flaws, is extraordinarily entertaining. Still, The Animated World of Max and Dave Fleischer: Superman and Popeye remains a commendable collection, providing contemporary viewers with a respectable introduction to the landmark Superman cartoon and its pioneering creators. www.scifi.com /sfw/screen/classic/sfw9835.html   (597 words)

Dave Fleischer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sometime around 1913-1914, Dave began working as a film-cutter for the American branch of Pathé, the France based company that during the first part of the 20th Century, was the world's largest film production and distribution company, as well as the largest manufacturer of film equipment. In the late-1940s, Fleischer moved over to Universal, where he became a special effects expert and general problem-solver, working on films such as Francis (1950), The Birds (1963), and Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967).

Amazon.ca: Superman: The Ultimate Max Fleischer Cartoon Collection [IMPORT]: DVD: Jackson Beck,Joan Alexander,Noa,Bud ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Despite the rather formulaic plots, what makes this collection worth having is the outstanding attention to detail in the animation and backgrounds, especially in the first nine 'toons produced by Max Fleischer and directed by his brother Dave. Lois Lane shows plenty of spunk long before anyone ever heard the phrase "women's liberation." She bluntly calls Clark Kent a fool, packs her portable typewriter (a 1940s laptop) almost anywhere, wields a machine gun to foil train robbers, and flies off solo, Amelia Earhart-style, to interview a mad scientist. Overall, however, the series maintains a fairly high standard throughout, probably because associates of the Fleischers also worked on the later entries in the series. www.amazon.ca /Superman-Ultimate-Fleischer-Cartoon-Collection/dp/B000F9RL9O   (2409 words)

Dave Fleischer The salesman is a little India rubber maven with wavy airplane arms, who saunters and traipses around Betty’s house enough to finally do some real damage, or anyway muss the place up, until even greathearted Betty must eject him, to her everpresent refrain, “Not today, kind Sir!” The exquisiteness of Fleischer’s observations is the main impetus of the work. Sweet Betty is at the hot oven, which burns her delicate fingertips, baking a cake. cmulrooney.tripod.com /fleischerdave.html   (714 words)
