tavm Review of Buddy's Show Boat

Buddy's Show Boat (1933)

Buddy's Show Boat is another Looney Tunes-time filler pre-Porky

[4/10 · 26 May 2008]

This is another Leon Schlesinger-Looney Tune-Buddy cartoon I recently discovered on YouTube. With the leading character being such a bland creation, the animators must have simply thought of weird material to keep themselves awake while making these boring time fillers. Buddy's Show Boat is so obviously pre-Code when the bells on the telephone look like a lady's breasts and we see the villain looking at Buddy's girlfriend Cookie in a lecherous manner with us also enjoying the view (for those who like looking at such things)! For anyone interested in seeing these vintage cartoons and how different they are to today's, this is certainly worth a look. Otherwise, the easily bored should probably avoid. By the way, the YouTube version is not the best print.
