As early as this is, it's still not the first WB "stuff comes to life" cartoon (I think that'd be "I Like Mountain Music" released one day shy of a year earlier).
How many of the original brand names can you identify from the "altered" versions here? I'm sure I remember seeing packages of dye at my granny's house with a name very similar to "Wink", but I can't come up with the real name.
In-joke alert: Freleng's talented layout artist (later a key director at his DePatie-Freleng studio) Hawley Pratt has his name emblazoned on the boxes of "dog biscuits" at 3:26.
One of the last black & white "Merrie Melodies", first released in June 1934. The song, by Irving Kahal & Sammy Fain, was originally featured in the now forgotten 1934 Warner Bros. feature "Harold Teen" {based on the famous comic strip}, starring Hal LeRoy. Some of the animation sequences were reused in Freleng's "Billboard Frolics" (1936). Pabst Blue Ribbon actually manufactured "malt extract" at the time, for people who wished to brew their own homemade beer (especially during Prohibition).

Thanks for the Bosko downloads!
Would anyone know if the following Bosko cartoons are available on YouTube: Bosko in Dutch, Bosko's Knight-Mare, and Bosko the Sheep Herder?
