@SuperJewTV1 Actually, it was the other way around as the guys who produced the first Looney Tunes orignally worked for Disney in the earlier 1920s. Same goes for Friz Freleng. In a sense, Disney's folks got Warner Bros. Animation off the ground in 1930.
@canonet17 no, Bosko was made by Fleischer Studios where Walt Disney worked. Right after Bosko was made, Disney quit Fleischer and created Mickey Mouse. i took an art history class on this.
Disney never worked for Fleischer Studios and Bosko was the creation of Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising in '28. Disney had his own studios since D1.
I do not know how old you are but your art teacher told you wrong. Disney worked on the Alice series ( live action/animation) and Oswald before Mickey Mouse. Disney worked with Iwerks and got started early on. The Fleischer Brothers were based out fo NYC and Disney worked in California. I knew that without taking an art class!
They had to, 'canonet', because the Warner Bros. name and logos HAD to be eliminated from the TV prints- unfortunately, Guild Films went the "generic" route in their refilmed titles, taking images of Porky, Daffy and several "minor" LT characters (including one of "Scottish rabbits" from 1943's "Hop and Go") and creating a "montage" title {"See, 'Looney Tunes', kiddies!"}.
This is a 1955 Guild Films TV reissue print, using a 1934 "Buddy"/"Looney Tunes" title card instead of the original 1931 title crediting Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising as the "producers"....
If I'm right that little Mascot at the start of the cartoon is Buddy who was in Animanaics as one of the Warner's Co-Stars back in the 30s. I heard that Buddy was a real WB character back in the day and had equally boring cartoons. Is there any chance that you have some of his cartoons, or know where I can find one?
I like Bosko better then any of the other Warner Bros cartoons. They were all trying to be like Disney cartoons but there is a better charm in Bosko then Foxy and Roxy and others.
It is Buddy and he did star in a lot of cartoons that people thought weren't as good as the Bosko shorts (the only exceptions are: Buddy's Beer Garden [which is only good because of the part where Buddy dresses like Mae West] and Buddy's Lost World [which is interesting to watch because the director employed a lot of weird camera angles that were considered ahead of their time])
This is the the Bosko version of the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit short, Ozzie of the Mounted.

It's a shame that Guild Films cut out the original title cards for their second rate cards.
