Fleischer Studios

Founded by Max and Dave Fleischer in the early 20th century, Fleischer Studios pioneered animation, creating iconic characters like Betty Boop, Koko the Clown, Popeye, and Superman. Innovators in animation, they blended live action with animation, introduced the "bouncing ball" cartoons, and showcased gritty, surreal landscapes. The studio's influence persists in today's music videos, karaoke, and Japanese anime. Max Fleischer's grandson, Mark Fleischer, now leads the studio, working with a dedicated team to modernize characters. Partnering with Global Icons, Inc., they explore new opportunities in media and merchandising globally.
