Isadore Sparber was an American storyboard artist, writer, director and producer of animated films. He is best known for his work with Fleischer Studios and its successor, Famous Studios. His work (when credited) appeared with different versions of his name including Izzy Sparber, I. Sparber, Irving Sparber, and Isidore Sparber, as well as Isadore Sparber.
Sparber worked for Fleischer Studios in the 1930s and 1940s where much of his early work was uncredited. However, he was credited as a writer for several Superman cartoons (all with Seymour Kneitel), as well as the feature length films Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town. He also wrote some Betty Boop cartoons, Color Classic cartoons and Popeye cartoons with no credit.
When Paramount Pictures took over Fleischer Studios in 1942, Sparber and Seymour Kneitel were named as the new heads of the renamed Famous Studios. Sparber was credited as the director and/or producer of many cartoons produced by Famous Studios between 1941 and 1958.
Sparber died August 29, 1958 in New York City.
This may have been a factor in Paramount's 1959 decision to discontinue production of several cartoon series and sell the rights to Harvey Comics.
