tavm Review of Bosko's Easter Eggs

Bosko's Easter Eggs (1937)

Bosko's Easter Eggs is a treat for anyone that are MGM cartoon buffs

[8/10 · 9 June 2007]

Having just seen Bosko and Bruno (with the monkey-looking version of the character) and now Bosko's Easter Eggs (with the more realistic-looking black boy character), I noticed a couple of contrasts: besides the designs, the big difference between monkey-Bosko and real black boy-Bosko is that monkey-Bosko is actually an adult while black boy one is, well, a kid. Also, in Bosko and Bruno, Bruno chases chickens while here, the dog is scared of her because he helped Bosko steal her eggs. The reason this is is because Bruno sorta ruined the ones Bosko was originally carrying in his basket. And the one who automatically figures it out without being told is Honey, here also different from her previous characterization as an adult to that of a little girl. Not much for laughs but entertaining nonetheless with Bosko's rhymes and the way the chicken constantly chases them. Well worth seeing for anyone interested in MGM cartoons made before Tom and Jerry and Tex Avery catapulted them to everlasting fame.
