The Cartoon Factory (S)

In 1919, Ko-Ko the Clown first emerged from the inkwell to grapple with his creator, Max Fleischer. Combining live action with animation, this highly imaginative series of 130 films inspired Walt Disney’s Alice comedies, among others. This film was found in the same collection as the French original print of I Fetch the Bread. A silent film of 1924, Cartoon Factory is seen here in a reissue version; the added sound has been digitally restored with the latest techniques.
