MAN! I wish we were there. My kid LOVES Flip the Frog.
My six year old asked me for more Popeye, Flip the Frog and Oswald DVDs for Christmas. Explain that to me, Cartoon Network executives.
I never thought much of Koko until I saw “Koko’s Earth Control” with a Philip Glass soundtrack at the Dallas Museum of Art.
That made it scary.
My Heart just stopped. I have been waiting for a screening of just these cartoons since I moved to LA. If you read this blog and you live in LA there is no reason not to go.
Thank you to all who put on this event. I really enjoyed hearing The live Ragtime music over the cartoons, creating a unique cartoon viewing experience. The Pianist was quit amazing for such a young guy. Shame on all who thought they had better things to do.
