In 1938 after Disney's success with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Paramount had given the Fleischers permission to produce an animated feature film and Fleischer studio relocated itself from New York to Miami, Florida in order to avoid organized unions, which became a threat to the studio after a five-month strike occurred among Fleischer Studio workers in late 1937. Here the Fleischers produced "Gulliver's Travels" which was released in 1939. It was a small success and encouraged the Fleischers to produce more.
