I am surprised to see that Looney Tunes' first and cutest character, Bosko, was sent to war in a couple of his shorts..."Bosko the Doughboy" and "Dumb Patrol" (instead of "Dawn Patrol", a famous WWI aviation film). This is because 20,000,000 folks died in this war...making it a bit of a difficult sell. Perhaps the 13 years since the end of this was why they could now laugh at this topic....though I must admit that there still aren't that many laughs.
Like so many of the Harmon-Ising cartoons, this one lacks the edge that the later Looney Tunes films were famous for bringing to the audiences. Here, instead of jokes, Bosko mostly acts cute. After being shot down by a character who looks a lot like a gorilla merged with Disney's Peg Leg Pete, Bosko discovers a cute French lady (Honey) and they sing and dance. Only later does Bosko take to the air again to rid the cartoon world of the evil beast.
Considering there's less singing and cuteness than most Bosko films, I'm awarding this one a 5...which is actually pretty good for Bosko. Not a great cartoon but a little less saccharine than usual.
