The cartoon is fairly routine, with the first half taken up with Bosko and Bruno skating on a pond. They find a baby in a basket and take him home.
The second half shows Bosko and Bruno failing to stop the child from crying until the dog puts on a lamp shade as a hula skirt and starts wiggling. All three of them start swinging to Richard Whiting’s “Cingalli.”
For four frames, a circle flashes on the screen. What’s it supposed to be?
Oh, well. It doesn’t stop them from dancing. A roast duck makes a cameo appearance.
Friz Freleng and Ham Hamilton are the credited animators.
I think it’s a cue mark Yowp. It’s mainly seen on film reels and isn’t really an “error” but more something that’s used to signal the ending of a reel. Wikipedia had a good explanation of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_mark
ReplyDeleteAlso boy, you REALLY are running out of things to say about these toons! Though I don’t blame you, I’d too be running out of material after 5000 or so posts.
