Bosko's Parlor Pranks(Movie, 1934)

Bosko's Parlor Pranks is a 1934 Happy Harmonies cartoon produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring their character Bosko. It is the first Bosko cartoon produced in color (two-strip Technicolor), and the first made at MGM following the Harman-Ising studio ending its deal to produce Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for Warner Bros. and Leon Schlesinger. Warner Bros. would later own Happy Harmonies and the MGM cartoon studio through its Turner Entertainment Co. banner. In this cartoon, Bosko appears with the same character design as in his Warner Bros. cartoons. After Hey-Hey Fever, Bosko's second MGM cartoon, he was redesigned into a more clear caricature of an African-American boy. Most of the animation in the cartoon is reused from the Looney Tunes shorts in which Bosko appeared. ()
