Out of the Inkwell: The Silent Cartoons of Max Fleischer

Museum of the Moving Image

First produced in 1918, the "Out of the Inkwell" series featured a mix of live action, stop motion, and most importantly, the rotoscope, which was invented by Max Fleischer with his brother Dave as the model for Koko. The block of shorts will feature new restorations spearheaded by Max’s granddaughter, Jane Fleischer Reid.
