- A wonderful early entry in Max Fleischer's "Out Of The Inkwell" series featuring Ko Ko the Clown. The combination of cartoon animation and live action is every bit as impressive today as it was when this film was first released 86 years ago.
Max Fleischer is undeniably GENIUS. This animation is timeless and the technique and imagination he uses inspires awe, even in 2012. Simply amazing.
My mother saw this when she was nine, and was a cinema addict ever since. My uncle, Victor McLaglen (from my father's side of the family), was in his very first film made in Walthamstow North London, "The Call of the Road" made in 1920; which was restored by the British Film Institute; and I saw it for the first time in Sheffield a few years ago, at the newly opened old cinema The Abbeydale Picture House, in Abbeydale Road, where it first premiered! My father Clifford McLaglen also an actor of the silent cinema, and always looked up to his brother, Victor as his seven other brothers did. Five of the brothers were in films and Cyril, and Arthur, were Horse Soldiers in the John Ford trilogies, with John Wayne and Victor McLaglen still fighting away still today and into the future, from 1948 1949 and 1950 with Maureen O'Hara. Films can go on forever showing what life was like a long time ago, and bring the people who are no longer her to life again! Cynthia McLaglen
Amazing!!!! So much creativity and talent at the cinema beginning's....Like Méliès !!
Yeah, they did. Max was the inventor of the technique and these short films were made to demonstrate it. I'm actually surprised that stop-motion animation is over 80 years old too.
Pure genius and hard work.
I remember watching this when I was 8 in 2016! Good childhood memories!
Max Fleischer was both a genius and ingenius. and these cartoons are as incredibly witty as they are beautifully animated. They would look even better if the live action film technology of the day had been better. Of course it looks appropriate in its way, but it makes the film look old fashioned even though it's animation is state of the art, and as metafiction it's way ahead of its time. Max was the greatest single animator of all, even if Disney with his great organization surpassed him
Starting at 2:35, Koko's movements look extremely life-like! Also, I'd have to completely agree with iCHAINSAW.
First time ever seeing this.Thank you! FWIW, the music played in the first 2-3 minutes is called "The High Cost of Loving".
Oh my Dear God---
Thank you so much for downloading this bit of history.
I've been hunting for this forever,
God this is one reason I love UA-cam.
You know, Koko looks like a real life man yet animated
Also rotoscoped
oldies are goldies
Wow, that was really old! And rather funny!
100 yrs old in 2021
It`s Kind Of Cool How Max Fleischer Still Looked The Same As He Did In The Betty Boop Episode "Betty Boop`s Rise To Fame"In 1934 Where He Interviewed With Betty.
Man this still creates a more realistic picture than modern CGI.
CGI isn't evil though, and we've come a very long way with it. But I just think we're overusing it. Classic movies that had to create special effects with ACTUAL effects looked better because props were physical objects, explosions were real, and actors had something to actually work with. We need to just rely on it a little less.

Whoop... yeah, I just remembered the frames were traced drawings of every frame from a real film. The effort people used to put into animating is amazing!
I like this short, I used to associate rotoscoping with Ralph bakshi, but after watching this and a bunch of Popeye cartoons I think of Fleischer when it is brought up.
Do Lord, Oh Do Remember Me....that sounds like the song playing.
@RayPointer I agree. The state of music today has the same problem. The makers unknowingly let all the technology plug-ins compete with the final product instead of supporting it. They have so many choices they feel they must use, the makers as a result drift further and further away from the musical vision.
These Out of the Inkwell old-timers hardly had any choices to help them, so they had to make many critical decisions as they went along, which kept them close to the artistic vision.

As much as I'd like to jump on the bandwagon here (because I DO really love these old Fleischer cartoons), this is all rotoscoping. It was an innovative technique in its day, but it isn't the pinnacle of animated artistry that you seem to think it is. It's essentially just a shortcut.
Merry Christmas, Koko!
they used retroscoping for koko right? cause its really humanish
@31operafan You do realized that the animated shots used the rotoscoping technique?
I love silent cartoon shorts!!
Thanks for sharing. I Love this serie. Well, isso ai figurinha antes, depois do natal, ano novo, carnaval, pascoa etc a gente se fala ou melhor se escreve..hehe.
@31operafan You are correct. Although, one can achieve very good animation with today's tech and much faster, the rotoscoping technique can achieve better results because the application is very manual where you trace by hand the human form, for example. The process though time consuming to today's tech, imitates faithfully every nook and cranny thanks to the "intimate" process. Today, it seems that everyday the artist is moving away from the intimate relationship between artist and materials.
Wow, that's awesome!! Thanks for posting!
Muito obrigada, valeu o recado (RISO). Até mais!
it's amazing!
Animation in the 20's?
679 Steelers animation has existed crudely since the victorian eara and real life capture came along a little later, there is actually a recording of queen victorias diamond jubelee
out of the inkwell?
more like back into the inkwell!
@iCHAINSAW Maybe it's because it's not the technology that makes it happen but the people using it that does. There has not yet been a software program that has replace the basic human element called "talent."
It is assumed that computers are the answer for everything for those without skill and talent. "TALENT" is primarily what was demonstrated in these films. Computers do not make an untalented person talented. It comes from within the person, and computers are only a tool, not a substitute for talent.
I know your a Fleischer fan. I wonder if Max got the idea of drawing the character on screen from the Swedish animator Victor Bergdahl.
If you check out the short Kapten Groggs ballongfärd from 1916 it starts the same way with the animator drawing the character on screen.
Wow, genius!
Kokooooo!!!! ♥
Thank you for not watermarking this video.
Any chance you could re-upload this in a higher quality? It would look fantastic I'm sure!
......
Wow, I didn't expect to see you here.
@31operafan 1921, actually. But I see your point.
Chaque nouvelle fois que je le regard je le trouve encoure mieux.
Interesting
IT 2017 proyector scene be like
It's called rotoscope.
just put some dubstep over the clown on ice skates
Traditional > Digital
that's dumb. its the same thing different mediums
As Seen on WGBS-TV’s Bozo Show
@lotusbandicoot Rotoscoping
@iCHAINSAW Word
Animation before Mickey Mouse is weird....
Max sure like to abuse his creations
lying, not lieing.
Bendy and the Ink Machine anyone?
TheMarkipShow that's the reason why I'm here! It's interesting to see early animation and how it was done.
Mighty Waffle no it was the song car-tunes series the first of witch was called come take a ride in my airship, witch was made in 1924
