Bookoo does also mean "much" or "a lot of" (bookoos is plural and means "lots of"). Bookoo comes from French "beaucoup", re-spelled approximately phonetically.
Never saw this before. The first part with Flip was only so so, but *Bug Vaudeville* was beautifully elegant. I wonder if the use of the silhouette of the viewer's head was the first use of that idea in animation.
In his time he was perhaps the world's greatest animator. His 1918 film _Sinking of the Luisitania_ is great animation. I think his work was mostly done before the studios started using cel animation, so each frame had to be redrawn entirely making it A LOT of work. But all animation would be hand drawn and colored for something like the next 50 years, and most animation for some time after that. Cel animation began dying out in the 1990s. McCay's animation looks great even today but it is true that his comic strip _Little Nemo_ is at least arguably his best, and most memorable, work.
Flip is my favorite character from Little Nemo in Slumberland. 🙂
Awesome!! Love Little Nemo!!
3:20 #bookoo is a term nowadays used for a patient at a hospital who is drunk and had alittle too much alcohol.

Boxing Potato Bugs at 11:43 really reminds me of Cuphead for some reason!

Well, McCay was a better cartoonist than an animator. I learned that he did all this animating by hand with ink-pen.
