One note, these cartoons were forced to use the top song of the day by Warner's Archives, I'm glad this didn't last too long. doc nochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141633779134439028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-13757866461236958252015-06-23T16:15:40.912-07:002015-06-23T16:15:40.912-07:00What, no mention of the car coming out of the outh...What, no mention of the car coming out of the outhouse with its trunk door left conspicuously open? I think this may have been one of the earliest examples of toilet humor in cartoons. Also, I've noticed a lot of Bosko cartoons show naked butts. I wonder if this really annoyed the Warner brass?Dr. Belchhttp://freewebs.com/smokingcatcomicsandcollectibles2/Webpages/index.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-18215439901921192792015-05-07T09:16:10.377-07:002015-05-07T09:16:10.377-07:00"Sinkin' in the Bathtub", the very f..."Sinkin' in the Bathtub", the very first Looney Tune ever, had a series card which was only used for that cartoon.

Its to be enjoyed and leaving kids with the whimsy and curiosity of all the actions made. There's nothing funny or enjoyable about a sensible cartoon, you might as well have a kid watch the newsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850548165923597153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-79074991150213983702011-07-30T13:31:20.965-07:002011-07-30T13:31:20.965-07:00Offhand, I can only think of one maid with a "...Offhand, I can only think of one maid with a "mammy" moniker, and that was only on an MGM model sheet and never in the actual cartoon.<br /><br />"Mammy" refers to "mother" and you only have to listen to the lyrics Al Jolson's music of the '20s to discern that.<br /><br />Inanimate objects temporarily coming to life date back to the silent days. To me, it's always lots of fun (especially in the Fleischer cartoons) and was a pretty standard cartoon concept until Disney evolved away from it and everyone copied him.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-76330970491689610752011-07-26T11:41:38.367-07:002011-07-26T11:41:38.367-07:00James Ciambor: Wanted to mention that animation is...James Ciambor: Wanted to mention that animation is about trying to bend the rules of reality. When Bosko turns the shower to a 90 degree angle, what there trying to attempt to stretch what animation is capable of. Which as of 1930 the industry was very limited in what they could technically accomplish. <br /><br />I also noticed they dropped the African American dialect relatively early on in attempt to emulate Mickey. My style of thinking is why? They could have had a distinctively different character with Bosko. Unlike Van Beuren, Harman and Ising had the ability to deliver distinctively different characters from Disney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
