Ko Ko Explores
Cannibals don’t like clown meat — it tastes funny!
Here’s a 1927 short called KoKo Explores, starring the cartoonist Max Fleisher and directed by his brother Dave Fleischer.
This cartoon has stood the test of time, although we’re sure it would offend a sect of the liberals out there. Of course, a lot of those liberals would be offended by their own shadows!
The Fleischer Brothers created their Out of the Inkwell Films in New York. Meanwhile, out in California, Walt Disney cartoonists also delved into tales of cannibalism in their 1925 short Alice Cans The Cannibals.
Although a print of this cartoon was already available online, it was in low quality and missing 3 minutes of scenes. This new upload is a better quality print, taken from a stock footage site (though featuring an annoying timecode and missing the opening title).
