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.
