YMMV / Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid (1929)

Go To

  • Values Dissonance: Unlike his Flat Character depiction in his later Warner Bros. cartoons, Bosko is clearly meant to be a cartoonish black stereotype in this film, right down to an audible Jive Turkey dialect. Similarly, his portrayals of a Yiddish and Asian dancer are heavily representative of the kind of racist and antisemitic humor that was widely accepted in the American mainstream during 1929.
