Description

Just say, "Follow the Bouncing Ball" and everyone is ready to join in on a heartwarming community sing. Originally conceived in 1924, Max Fleischer's Ko-Ko Song Car-Tunes were the first audience participation films, offering an improvement over the static hand-painted glass slide sing-a-longs of the nickelodeon days. But most importantly, several of them were produced with synchronized soundtracks, making them the first animated films with sound.
