The studio, originally located in Miami, was formed as an entity to separate officially and legally from Paramount the former Fleischer Studios, which had been a sub-studio of Paramount and producer of their animated shorts, until one of its chief animators, Dave Fleischer, defected and signed a contract with Columbia Pictures after falling out with his co-animator brother Max Fleischer.
