This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

After trying and failing to teach Wilbur how to play an old folk song on his fiddle, Honey telephones the drowsy Bosko and invites him to have a picnic with her. Of course, thanks to a rainstorm and Bosko's nosey dog Bruno, the picnic doesn't quite go as planned.Long before Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and pretty much every other familiar WB character, there was Bosko - WB's first star and answer to Mickey Mouse. Bosko represented pretty much every cartoon cliché at the time - an unrecognizable (and subtly stereotypical) character constantly getting into some form of mischief. The main criteria for a cartoon character's success at the time was his/her charm (rather than originality) - which Bosko, fortunately, had. The theatrically unreleased Bosko and Honey demonstrates this perfectly. Despite its dull plot and jarringly corny jokes (just wait until you see the ending!), the cartoon is reasonably fun to watch thanks to its peppy tone and lively animation. When evaluated critically, it's certainly below par (especially when stacked against the shorts WB would be producing just fifteen years later). But when simply watched, the cartoon is both fun and historically interesting.If you're expecting something along the lines of Long-Haired Hare or Duck Amuck, you certainly won't find it here. This short is about as simple and inoffensive as they come. Nevertheless, it's certainly worth watching out of curiosity.
