Koko!

Live musical accompaniment by Wayne Barker and Nicholas White

Fresh restorations from the studio named for the visionary animators Max and Dave Fleischer show Koko in all his incorrigible glory. A marvel when he debuted in 1919 for his “sinuous grace,” Koko emerges from the inkwell to vex his creator with every stroke of the pen. Films: Jumping Beans, It’s the Cats, KoKo at the Circus, KoKo in 1999, KoKo’s Kane, KoKo’s Klock, KoKo’s Kink, KoKo’s Earth Control.
