Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid

Bosko's debut.

Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid is a 1929 live-action/animated short film produced to sell a series of Bosko cartoons. The film was never released to theaters, and therefore not seen by a wide audience until 2000 (71 years later) on Cartoon Network's television special Toonheads: The Lost Cartoons. The film was produced in May 1929 and directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising.

Directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. Produced by Leon Schlesinger and Eddie Selzer.
