Movie Reviews of Uncensored Bosko #1

Movie Review: Classic cartoon collectors
Summary: 5 Stars

My Brother's a cartoon collector of the classic period of cartoons so I bought him this and he really likes it!

Movie Review: A FORGOTTEN CHARACTER OF ANIMATION
Summary: 4 Stars

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 their steeds under their own power. A dachschund tracks down its own rear end. Bosko pulls on a tail that he thinks belongs to a fox, but which turns out to be something a little more intimidating. Let it be said that the fox is pretty safe with this group!

"Dumb Patrol" - In this deft parody of the World War I aviation movies that were the rage in the late 1920s and early 1930s, Bosko is an ace flyer who goes into battle against a menacing foe.

"Hold Anything" - Bosko and Honey are joined by a zooful of animals who are having too much fun to get any work done on a construction site. A goat's transformation into a hot-air balloon is a surreal highlight.

"Bosko the Doughboy" - It is World War I. Rockets, bombs and bullets are everywhere. A bird gets shot, leaving a huge hole -- saluting as it falls into a pool of water. An army band is hit, leaving several soldiers in their underwear. Bosko is a toughened soldier in battle who cannot eat beans without being harassed by the enemy's bombs. Bosko is bored with the war until the enemy shoots his photo of Honey -- and that is the last straw! Bosko vows to get even -- but it is not that easy. He goes into action with violent results.

While this is a strong collection I frankly find it a bit pricey at over $20 for 90 minutes.

Movie Review: bosko the great cartoon character
Summary: 5 Stars

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

Movie Review: Good For Animation History Study
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
