Dave Fleischer was notable during the brothers' early days as the rotoscope model for their first character, Koko the Clown. He went on to become director and later producer of the studio's output. Although he is credited as "director" of every film released by the Fleischer studio from 1921 to 1942, the lead animators actually performed directorial duties, and Fleischer served as a producer. Among the cartoon series Fleischer supervised during this period were Talkartoons, Betty Boop Cartoons, Popeye the Sailor, Color Classics and several others; Popeye would go on to be the top rival of Mickey Mouse. He also supervised two animated features released through Paramount Pictures, Gulliver's Travels (1939) and Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941). The debt Fleischer Studios owed to Paramount due to heavy loans that were used for budgeting both Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes To Town, worsened by the lack of success that came from the studio's non-Popeye cartoons, put both Max and Dave into a position to be forced to give the studio to Paramount on May 24, 1941 when Paramount called in on the loans, although both were still able to remain as in charge of Fleischer Studios, for a time.

In April 1942, Fleischer, no longer able to cooperate with his brother due to personal disputes, left the company to become President of Screen Gems at Columbia Pictures, though he still remained in the position as co-manager of Fleischer Studios until Paramount closed the studio in May 1942, after the studio's debt grew as Mr. Bug Goes To Town continued to sink at the box-office.
