Disney-

Disney made a film called 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' in 1937. At first when Walt Disney seen the animations for Snow White he did not like her that much because she was to 'cartoonish' and much like Betty Boop. When Snow White was being made the Fleischer Brothers heard about it and made a film that people think is similar but it was not as popular and did not make as much money. Also no-one went to the theatres to see it. Snow White was seen as more cute unlike the Fleischer brother film. When people first seen the Sow White they where amazed because everything on the screen would move unlike before when they usually only seen one thing move. This kind of film was new to people in the 1930s.

The Fleischer Brothers-

The Fleischer Brothers ( Max and Dave) made a bunch of animated films and one of there most famously known film was called 'Mr. Bug goes to town.'. Ironically though it was not famous because everyone thought it was a good film its famous because a lot of people didn't like the film. The fleischer brothers heard that disney where making a film and they allegedly copied off it. Unlike disney who made a cute looking film with dwarfs and princess the fleischer brothers made a film about bugs. People didn't find bugs as appealing or as good looking so no-one went to see it. Although now you can find this film in many £1 shops. 'Mr. Bug goes to town' was made December 1941.
