The (In)Complete Bosko Volume 1 (Patreon)

As many are aware, I and a few others (most notably Jerico Dvorak) have been collecting Harman-Ising prints, especially Bosko, over the previous two years. To date, out of the 48 total films made (WB & MGM), we have collected 30 new scans (both in 16mm & 35mm). Some may be familiar with the now defunct Bosko Video releases of Uncensored Bosko vols 1 & 2 (or vols 1-3 on VHS), which were compilations of 16mm transfers made in the 1990s. Many of those transfers are in poor shape, but were "as good as it gets" for the time Volume 1 of the DVD series include the following cartoons (* denotes new scans from us):

Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid

Congo Jazz (35mm scan pending)

Big Man from the North (35mm scan pending)

Ups 'n Downs

Yodeling Yokels (* new 8mm scan)

The Tree's Knees

Bosko the Doughboy (*16mm scan)

Bosko's Fox Hunt (35mm scan pending)
