Okay...I really DON'T hate cute. But, when I am watching a cartoon short I don't want cute...I want funny. Sure, there are a few exceptions such as the brilliant 1952 Looney Tunes short, "Feed the Kitty"...which is adorable. But mostly I want humor...and a bit of violence. So, the Bosko films are very difficult for me to enjoy because the Harmon-Ising production mantra seemed to be 'you can't make a cartoon without singing, dancing and a heaping dose of saccharine'!
"Bosko's Party" is not among the most saccharine and cutesy Bosko cartoons, but it does have a lot of awful singing and dancing...with Honey singing "La, la, la, la, la" throughout the film as she skips merrily about the house. What she doesn't realize is that Bosko is throwing a surprise birthday party for her AND that the audience watching the film HATES it when she sings like this. As for the rest of it, it's just okay...not terrible but also about as edgy as a bowling ball....and rarely funny.
