Max Fleischer

Max Fleischer (born Majer Fleischer /'fla???r/;July 19, 1883 – September 25, 1972) was an American animator, inventor, film director and producer, and studio founder and owner.

Born in Kraków, Fleischer immigrated to the United States where he became a pioneer in the development of the animated cartoon and served as the head of Fleischer Studios, which he co-founded with his younger brother Dave.

He brought such comic characters as Koko the Clown, Betty Boop, Popeye, and Superman to the movie screen, and was responsible for several technological innovations, including the rotoscope, the "follow the bouncing ball" technique pioneered in the Ko-Ko Song Car-Tunes films, and the "stereoptical process".

Film director Richard Fleischer was his son.
