This is a later Stuart reissue. Originally titled 'Koko in 1999'. Chased by Father Time, Ko-Ko runs through time and into the futuristic world of 1999. There, Ko-Ko finds a mechanical barber, an automated feeding machine, and even an instant marriage. The series was the result of three short experimental films that Max Fleischer independently produced from 1914 to 1916 to demonstrate his invention, the rotoscope, a device consisting of a film projector and easel used to achieve realistic movement for animated cartoons. The rotoscope projected motion picture film through an opening in the easel, covered by a glass pane serving as a drawing surface. The image on the projected film was traced onto paper, advancing the film one frame at a time as each drawing was made. Fleischer's younger brother Dave Fleischer, who was working as a clown at Coney Island, served as the model for their first famous character, eventually known as Koko the Clown. #KokoTheClown #FleischerStudios #BettyBoop #Popeye Visit https://www.patreon.com/Maxfleischercartoons to help us scan more!
