Bosko the Doughboy

Directed by Hugh Harman

Release Date:

October 17, 1931

Main Character(s):

Bosko

Summary:

Bosko is a soldier in World War I.

That’s Not All, Folks:

This cartoon focuses more on action than on music. In fact, Bosko finds himself unable to make music for more than a few seconds without being faced with enemy gunfire.

What I Like About This One:

A band marching in the middle of the war and once they are caught in an explosion, they are reduced down to three men playing “Yankee Doodle”.

Bosko helping a fellow soldier (a dog) with his flea problem by allowing the dog’s hat to be shot full of holes (to use as a back scratcher).

Another soldier (a hippo) ends up swallowing a cannonball and acts very dramatic until Bosko removes it from him (by using the hippo’s body like a zipper).

Where Can I Watch It?
