Bosko is the first star for Looney Tunes and compared to later characters like Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, Bosko was very dull. Instead of being tricky and trying to elicit laughs, Bosco was generally very cute...singing and dancing and being nice. Well, it turns out it's GENERALLY....as in "Bosko and Bruno", he's not quite so nice.
When the story begins, Bosko and his dog, Bruno, are hobos...traveling the rails. However, Bosko goes WAY off the rails when he and Bruno decide to steal chickens...yes, STEAL chickens. When the sheriff sees them, the pair run and Bosko ends up going on an insane ride on a runaway train car!
While this is far from a great short, it's a very good one compared to many Bosco cartoons because it lacks the super-cute look and Bosco is a bit of a jerk. While I wouldn't want to see lots of them like this, it is a welcome change from the usual saccharine-like drivel you see in most of Bosko's films.
