Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography (1929–39)

This is a listing of all the animated shorts released by Warner Bros. under the *Looney Tunes* and *Merrie Melodies* banners between 1930 and 1939, plus the 1929 pilot film which was used to sell the *Looney Tunes* series to Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros. A total of 271 shorts were released during the 1930s.

## 1929

***Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid***, a 1929 live-action short film produced to sell a series of Bosko cartoons, was never released to theaters, and therefore not seen by a wide audience until 71 years later on Cartoon Network's television special *Toonheads: The Lost Cartoons* on March 12, 2000, although in an edited form. The film was produced in May 1929, directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. In the film, a cartoonist (portrayed in live action by Rudolph Ising) draws Bosko, who comes to life. Bosko speaks, sings, dances and plays the piano before the cartoonist sucks him into his ink pen and pours him back into the inkwell. Bosko pops out of the bottle and promises to return.

The full cartoon is present on disc 4 of the *Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1* as a special feature.
