In 1941, due to Dave Fleischer leaving Fleischer Studios after an argument with brother Max, and a large debt to Paramount, Paramount began a takeover. In 1942 the studio was renamed Famous Studios, and soon moved back to New York from the Miami facilities the Fleischers set up only four years prior. Following World War II, in 1948, Max produced Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for the Jam Handy Organization.

Otto Soglow’s The Little King first appeared in 1931 in The New Yorker magazine, was licensed for animation by the Van Beuren Studios, and became a King Features Syndicate newspaper strip in 1934. The King invites some down-and-out friends to sleep over Christmas Night (1933) and, after Santa delivers, they proceed to tear up the palace.
