About Looney Tunes: Bosko at the Zoo (1932)
Bosko at the Zoo is a 1932 American animated comedy short film. It is the seventeenth film in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko.
Bosko and Honey bike to the zoo. They encounter an angry lion, who scares them away, as well as an aquarium. In the tank, two small fish swim to the beat of music and escape from a larger fish, followed by an octopus and more small fish who play with its tentacles like a carousel. An ostrich steals Bosko's bowler hat while he is distracted, sparking his fury as he pursues it. Bosko unsuccessfully uses a lasso to restrain the ostrich, falling onto a porcupine and causing it to lose its quills, annoying the porcupine as it forcefully reclaims its quills.
