Bosko, The Talk-Ink Kid is a historic cartoon short created in 1929 by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising.
This unique film combines live-action and animation, as Bosko is drawn on paper and suddenly comes to life—dancing, singing, and talking before jumping back into the inkwell. It served as the test pilot for the Bosko character, who later became the first star of Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes series.
Originally made in 1929, this short was never released to theaters but is now part of animation history. Today, it is in the public domain and free for everyone to enjoy, share, and learn from.
Details:
• Release year: 1929
• Creators: Hugh Harman & Rudolf Ising
• Significance: First Bosko cartoon / Looney Tunes pilot
A rare and important treasure from the early days of American animation.
