Max Fleischer


Max Fleischer is one of the many pioneers of animation. The story of Max Fleischer is one of the technical innovation, full of exploration in the production process of the animated films.
He had put an animation together using a process he and his brother Dave had invented in 1915 called the rotoscope, still in use today, in which a strip of live-action footage can be traced and redrawn as a cartoon.
They exploited this technique in their pioneered series "out of the inkwell" that showcase the interaction between human and drawn figures and because of that Disney struggle to imitate his early Alice cartoons.

The majority of the film was hand-drawn animation done with celluloid, which allowed the characters to be animated over the same hand painted backgrounds.
