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.
