Max & Koko In Outer Space - Another Wild One!, 17 October 2007
9/10

This is yet one more example of the genius of Max and Dave Fleischer, creators of the silent "Out Of The Inkwell" cartoons, starring "Koko The Clown."

The opening minute alone makes this worth viewing. It is so creative I just sat in awe. This was done over 80 years ago and still is fresh in its originality. In a nutshell, Max draws a bunch of faces which finally evolve into Koko, then Koko's normal body emerges from this huge face. He attach's the head to himself but it's so big, he can't go anywhere. Eventually - all of this in about 20 seconds - he deflates his head and he's back to normal!

The story is that Max is fascinating with astronomy and has built a small rocket ship in which he wants Koko to take a trip to the moon. The clown doesn't want to go, tries to run away, puts TNT under Max's seat, but winds up in the ship. He goes all the way to Mars and encounters weird beings and a subway! Max's chair blows up and he winds up in outer space, too! It's all extremely bizarre-and-typical for these Koko clowns. Max must have been a ham, himself, because he likes to be part of these cartoons. That's fine, because the mixture of real life and animated action makes these all the more fun.
