Our Mission
Max Fleischer is one of the most renown pioneers in animation since the dawn of the industry. From 1919 to 1942, he and his company, Fleischer Studios, produced nearly 700 cartoons. Among his many achievements, he invented the Rotoscope which revolutionized animation, developed the “Stereo-optical Process” giving scenes a 3-D appearance, and created the “bouncing ball” for sing-alongs. His studio was the first to animate both Popeye and Superman. And he created the iconic Betty Boop, who remains an emblem of American culture to this day.
