Hold Anything
Hold Anything is the third title in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko. It was released as early as August 9, 1930. It is loosely based on the lost film Hold Everything, one of whose songs, "Don't Hold Everything", features prominently in the cartoon. It was directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, and animated by Isadore "Friz" Freleng and Norman Blackburn.Plot
The film features Bosko working on a construction site with a goat and several small mice. After several minutes of relatively uneventful working, Bosko spots his girlfriend, Honey, working in a nearby office building. After some brief flirtation, Bosko jumps down into Honey's office, pulls out a piece of sheet music, places it in Honey's typewriter, and begins playing the typewriter like a piano. Meanwhile, back at the construction site, the goat eats a piece of a steam-powered machine and begins to float upward. Bosko reaches out the window and begins playing the goat like a calliope. The goat begins to float away, and as Bosko hangs on for his life, he accidentally grabs onto a set of udders and gets sprayed with milk, distracting him enough to lose his grip and fall onto a set of bricks. Bosko inexplicably divides into six miniature Boskos and begins playing the bricks as a xylophone before he reforms to his usual self and the cartoon irises out.
