In the 1930's, a company by the name of Fleischer Studios created a hit sensation of characters that to their surprise would live on way into the 21st century and quite possibly beyond. Betty Boop and Popeye were extremely popular and came into this world when Max and Dave Fleischer invented the rotoscope which started their business back in 1919. They then got a contract with Bray Studios and created their first series named "Out of The Inkwell" which became so popular that their company was then known as Out of The Inkwell incorporated, now known as Fleischer Studios as they inventually changed their name.
Fleischer Studios attempted to emulate Disney's ever-so-popular style after the success of Snow White and The Seven Dwarves and later created Gulliver's Travels. Fleischer even did an adaptation of Disney's Silly Symphonies by creating their Colour Classics series, which was pretty much a parody of Disney's work.
