'''''Out of the Inkwell''''' was a major series of animated cartoons from [[The Silent Age of Animation]] and the earliest days of [[The Golden Age of Animation]], produced by [[Fleischer Studios|Max Fleischer]] from 1918 to 1929. The series was the result of three short experimental films that Max Fleischer independently produced in the period of 1914-1916 to demonstrate his invention, the [[Rotoscoping|Rotoscope]], which was a device consisting of a film projector and easel used as an aid for achieving realistic movement for animated cartoons.
 
A quick history of this series can be found on [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_Inkwell:Out of the Inkwell|this article]], courtesy of [[Wikipedia]].
 
Compare [[Walt Disney]]'s own live action/animation blending cartoons, the [[Alice Comedies]], as well as [[Walter Lantz]]'s [[Dinky Doodle]].
Line 163:
* [[The Cameo]]: Appears as a throwaway gag in the Betty Boop short "[[Minnie the Moocher]]", before he became a recurring star of the series.
* [[Deranged Animation]]: A Fleischer staple, this trope is very prominent in these cartoons.
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!]]: On "Ko-Ko's Earth Control" Ko-Ko and Fitz find the Earth's control center and Fitz ''really'' wants to pull the lever that [[Self-Destruct Mechanism|destroys the whole world]].
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Walt Disney's "Alice Comedies" are essentially an inverted version of these cartoons.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The TV Koko cartoons are pretty much impossible to find.
