Description:
Image Entertainment is proud to present a cartoon treasure, Warner Brothers' very first--an most musical--cartoon star, Bosko! Created by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, Bosko made his debut in 1929 and retired from Warner Brothers in the summer of '33. These peppy musical shorts were also the first cartoons distributed by the legendary Leon Schlesinger. Animation fans can rejoice, Bosko lives on in the first of two DVD compilations mastered from the finest materials available. Long Live, Bosko! Includes: Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid, Congo Jazz, Big Man from the North, Ups 'N Downs, Yodeling Yokels, The Tree's Knees, Bosko the Doughboy, Bosko's Fox Hunt, Battling Bosko, Sinking in the Bathtub, Hold Anything, Box Car Blues, Ain't Nature Grand, Dumb Patrol.

- A FORGOTTEN CHARACTER OF ANIMATION
Before Bugs and Daffy there was Bosko. Not sure if uncensored is completely accurate. While many of the toons do have their racial caricatures, there certainly not as offensive as many other cartoons from the same period. As noted by another reviewer, many of these are musicals since that kind of went along hand-in-hand with early animation.

Still, there's no denying the quality and depth of detail in the animation. There were no short cuts taken back then to do them on the cheap as they would a couple of decades later. I found the quality to be average. I think little if any restoration was done on them for the DVD release which is hardly surprising considering the content. It's not "Gone with the Wind" you know.

Highlights of the set include:

"Bosko's Fox Hunt" - This is another fox hunt which comes complete with singing horses and aristocrats who are too fat to mount ... Read More

- bosko the great cartoon character
Bosko is a great cartoon character, but the Warner Brothers Studio stopped making him in 1934. When Foxy and Roxy did the first Merrie
Melodie bosko had stopped being made, bosko is very funny so i think
this dvd is gonna get alot of money.Bosko the talk ink kid was the first
Bosko cartoon and the first warner bros cartoon.it was made in 1929
but disney did ther first cartoon in 1928 so disney got a head start in
ther cartoon making.So mickey and bosko were not made at the same
time but they both were great. i have sean the first mickey cartoon and the first bosko cartoon.you can see bosko the talk ink kid on the looney tunes goiden colliction on disc 4 and the frist merrie melodie on disc 4.bosko is great so i hope the pepol hwo buy it love it.

- Good For Animation History Study
The list of cartoons for the second volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection was recently announced, and it will include two black-and-white cartoons. The first volume did not contain any.

While progress is being made in getting rarer and older cartoons restored and released by Warner Brothers, it will still be a long while before they've got Bosko cartoons ready to release (if Warner Bros. releases them at all).

So in the meantime, the two DVDs in the "Uncensored Bosko" series are good for study of early animation, and are actually entertaining. While full of dust and dirt, the video quality is better than most copies of these cartoons.
