Fourth Looney Tune of 1931!!

constiffsFebruary 10, 2010

This funny, creative, and yes, surreal Bosko short from 1931 co-stars ol' Honey in an aerial adventure!!! Very amusing, Bosko can turn anything into an instrument, but wait until you see him turn a dog into an airplane?!?! You read correctly. Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising were clearly having fun here, with some great animation work by Isadore Freleng.
