bendy and the ink machine chapter 5 teaser

I watched the animations just to see what they were talking about, and the connections between 'Bendy and the Ink Machine' and Max Fleischer's 'Out of the Inkwell' were pretty startling. I have to second the above Troper's theory.Bonus points if Henry just stood by and let it happen, whether he felt bad or not.

Koko may have had his moments of mischievousness, but treating a sentient being in such a way is cruel and unusual, so it isn't too far-fetched that Bendy was experiencing similar treatment and wanted to end it once and for all.

Things Max has done to Koko include shocking him with electricity, setting his paper world on fire as 'thanks' for rolling Max a cigarette, drawing Koko onto a very steep mountain with a small area to stand on to 'keep him quiet for the night,' and cramming Koko back into the small cramped inkwell solely because Max had a nightmare about him. He was mistreated a lot in these shorts by his creator, Max Fleischer. Bendy wants revenge because he was mistreated by Joey.Fleischer Studios, the company that created Betty Boop, had a series of shorts called 'Out of the Inkwell' wherein a character named Koko the Clown interacts with the real world.
