Bosko is certainly not among my favorite cartoons of the 1930s. He's not the worst...but is certainly nothing like the later edgy cartoons from Looney Tunes. Instead, like in nearly all the of the Bosko films, he sings and dances a lot...like he as well as his girlfriend, Honey, are deranged!
When the story begins, Bosko is sleeping and the alarm clock goes off AND his phone rings....but he won't awaken. So, true to so many of the Harmon-Ising Bosko cartoons, the phone and alarm clock come to life and force him to awaken. This is kind of cute...I'll give the film its due. Unfortunately, Bosko then goes for a drive to Honey's house...singing the insipid 'La, La, La, La, La' tune. To make it worse, when Honey joins in, she, too joins in the singing (yuck). Honey's dog is sad he didn't get to go along...and runs after them.
The tire gag and a few others save this cartoon from being completely saccharine...but the godawful singing and cutesy look make this a cartoon you only want to see once.
