Cartoons : Tom and Jerry (Van Beuren Studios)

Tom and Jerry Van Beuren Studios - 10 cartoons!
This is not about the cat and mouse!
Tom and Jerry were fictional characters that starred in a series of early sound cartoons produced by the Van Beuren Studios, and distributed by RKO. The series lasted from 1931 to 1933. When Official Films purchased the Van Beuren library in the 1950s, the characters were renamed Dick and Larry to avoid confusion with Tom and Jerry, the famous MGM cartoon series of the 40's and 50's. Today, animation historians refer to the characters as Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry. All cartoons are in public domain because of missing copyright indication.

Interestingly, Joseph Barbera began his career as an animator and script writer on this series. In 1940, Barbera co-created with William Hanna another duo of cartoon characters using the same names: a cat and mouse named Tom and Jerry.

Be sure to check out the somewhat familiar faces from other cartoons - is that Micky Mouse in several of the cartoons?

Warning some of these are not politically correct - there is racism and other stereotypes.

Cartoons: Bosko

Bosko is an animated cartoon character created by animators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. Bosko was the first recurring character in Leon Schlesinger's cartoon series, and was the star of over three dozen Looney Tunes shorts released by Warner Bros.
The origins of Bosko go back to 1927. In that year, Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising were still working for the Walt Disney Studios on a series of live-action/animated short subjects known as the Alice Comedies. Hugh Harman created Bosko in 1927 to capitalize on the new "talkie" craze that was sweeping the motion picture industry. Harman began thinking about making a sound cartoon with Bosko in 1927, before he even left Walt Disney. Hugh Harman made drawings of the new character and registered it with the copyright office on 3 January 1928. The character was registered as a "Negro boy" under the name of Bosko
