Bosko Shipwrecked (Cannibal Run)

 

Director: Hugh Harman (though the title card lists both Harman and Ising as directors, this was the first short where Harman does solo direction and the first time one person is credited for a Warner Bros cartoon)

Summary: After a terrible storm at sea, Bosko ends up shipwrecked on an island, where he must contend with the wildlife that stole his hat and the angry jungle natives who would love to have him for dinner…as the main course.

The Channel(s): Nickelodeon

Part(s) Edited: The angry jungle native part. All of it.

How It Plays With the Edit: I think it’s just better to show you the uncut version vs. the edited version (the latter of which I had to make myself, since I couldn’t find an actual clip), though this might be the first time a scene cut in a Bosko cartoon actually affects the story and not the flow of gags set to music:

Availability Uncut: Another day, another public domain Bosko short that hasn’t been officially released on DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming as of this writing in 2024. However, it is on a lot of unofficial public domain DVDs (I remember having the Cartoon Craze DVD specifically titled, “Bosko Shipwrecked”) and, of course, YouTube and other video websites are an option.
