On the stage of a deserted movie theater, a man in a black robe appears and performs a series of yo-yo tricks. In this surreal work of celluloid animation, Yo Yo the Clone, Too shows the yo-yo coming to life and spawning a number of organic forms — including a clone of the yo-yoist himself. Set to sounds reminiscent of 1970s video games, the film is a hypnagogic unfolding of shapes and sounds with a touch of Somersaulter-Moats and Somersaulter's signature Kafkaesque uncanniness.
Yo Yo the Clone, Too was directed by J.P. Somersaulter and Lillian Moats.
Yo Yo the Clone, Too runs for 4min, and was released in 1980.
