Bosko's Soda Fountain is a 1931 Looney Tunes short directed by Hugh Harman.
Plot[]
Bosko is a soda jerk and makes ice cream sodas. He serves one to a mouse customer, but it's so big that the only way the mouse can reach the straw is to spin his stool as high as it can go.
The service is generally well-received, but later Bosko accidentally breaks his mixer and uses the mouse as a replacement by twisting the rodents tail and making his head spin around. Soon, Bosko is paid a visit by his former school teacher, who asks for a soda. She enjoys the rotating electric fan but when Bosko pulls down the soda for her, the fan blows it in her face!
Bosko laughs when this happens, and he soon receives a call from Honey, who asks him to bring an ice cream for her spoiled kitten student, Wilber. Getting there, however, proves to be a challenge for Bosko.
Notes[]
- This is the first appearance of the cat boy Wilber.
- The squeaking noises when the hippo lady complains about the soda to Bosko is reused for the angry squirrel that shoots Porky Pig, Willoughby and Bugs Bunny in the "Tales of the Vienna Wood" segment of "A Corny Concerto".
- This cartoon entered the public domain in 1959 as Sunset Productions did not renew the copyright in time.
