Happy Harmonies - Bosko's Parlor Pranks (1934)

An MGM cartoon by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. This is essentially what a Warner Bros. color cartoon featuring Bosko would be like. This is the first Bosko cartoon that Harman and Ising produced at MGM. In this cartoon and the next Bosko cartoon, "Hey Hey Fever", Bosko appears just as he does in the Warner cartoons. Due to time constraints to fulfill their contractual obligation to MGM in their first year of production, Harman and Ising hardly used any new animation in this film. Most of the animation in this cartoon is reused animation from the Warner Bros. Bosko cartoons.

That kid needs a spanking! He's a spoiled brat! xD

Bruno looks a hell of a lot like Pluto. And the little kid wears red pants with yellow buttons and yellow shoes like Mickey Mouse. Those things don't suprise me. Harman and Ising actually worked for Walt Disney during the 1920s, while Disney was in Kansas City.

If it weren't for Leon Schlesinger, Bosko would have carried Looney Tunes into a new generation. At least Bosko continued on to MGM in color.
