Bosko's Knight-Mare is a 1933 Looney Tunes short directed by Hugh Harman.

Plot

Bosko and Bruno are relaxing by the fire one evening. Bosko is reading a book about King Arthur's knights, when he suddenly falls asleep. He dreams of himself as a knight who sings and dances with the knights of the round table. An evil villainous knight abducts the fair maiden Honey and takes her to his castle. Bosko pursues, and while fighting the evil knight, Bosko wakes up to Bruno licking his face.

Caricatures

• The Marx Brothers
• Ed Wynn
• Jimmy Durante
• Mahatma Gandhi
• Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy

Censorship

• From 1987 to 1989, Nickelodeon edited out the scene in which Bosko unmasks the Knights of the Round Table, revealing Ed Wynn, Jimmy Durante, Mahatma Gandhi, and Oliver Hardy, with Bosko turning into Stan Laurel, Hardy hitting Bosko's Laurel, and Bosko/Laurel whimpering after being hit. This edit was presumably made to allow time for more cartoons and commercial breaks.
