Description:
Brother of Dave Fleischer
Father of Ruth Fleischer and Richard Fleischer
Awarded U.S. patent 1,242,674, "Method of Producing Moving Picture Cartoons," for the rotoscope, which allowed film footage of a live figure to be used as a guide for drawing an animated figure.
His son Richard Fleischer was hired by Walt Disney--Max's main competitor--to direct Disney's blockbuster 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). Although Disney and Max had been competitors for decades by that time, they had never actually met, and in fact Richard said that Disney often inquired of him, "How's your dad doing?".
