Bed Time

About This Movie

So, 'Bed Time' from 1923 is a bit of a trip, isn't it? It has this quirky charm, where you see Max, in his pajamas, getting all creative and setting up Koko on a steep mountain. It's like this playful peek into the chaotic mind of a cartoonist, and honestly, the animation style is a treat. The pacing is pretty brisk, and it doesn’t shy away from the oddball humor that defines early animation. Guest appearances, like Mutt, add to the wildness, making it distinctive in its era. You can really feel the spirit of experimentation, and there's something refreshing about how unapologetic it is in pushing the boundaries of animated storytelling.

'Bed Time' is quite the rarity, often sought after by collectors due to its age and unique animation style. It has seen a few screenings over the years, but original prints remain sparse, which definitely adds to its allure. Many collectors appreciate its historical significance in the evolution of animation, and it often pops up in discussions about early comedic shorts, making it a noteworthy piece for any serious collector.
