Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
TheLittleSongbird The Bosko cartoons may not be animation masterpieces, but they are fascinating as examples of Looney Tunes in their early days before the creation of more compelling characters and funnier and more creative cartoons. There are some good cartoons, as well as some average or less ones.'Bosko's Fox Hunt' is not one of Bosko's best, nor is it one of his worst. Instead it's an average and middle of the road cartoon, that does a lot right but has elements that could have been executed better and with more spark. It is always interesting to see fox-hunting, which is something that I personally don't agree with and would never participate in it, portrayed in cartoons, though to me it has been done far more interestingly elsewhere with more consistency and imagination.While the Bosko cartoons shouldn't ever be seen for their stories, and that component has always been one of the weaker ones, the story in 'Bosko's Fox Hunt' is very thin and over-familiar. Some of the pacing could have been sharper. While a good deal of the gags work and hit more than they miss the standard of them could have been more consistent and a few are forgettable.Regarding Bosko himself, he has never been the most interesting of characters and he isn't particularly here, nor is he that likable like he can be, pretty bland in a way. 'Bosko's Fox Hunt' is an example of a cartoon that has its moments but at the end of the day is not exactly memorable after a few days.On the other hand, Bosko's dog Bruno is a far more interesting, endearing and funnier character and it comes through loud and clear. As said, there are some fun gags and they generally hit more than they miss. The very amusing ending is the standout.As always, the animation is good. Not exactly refined but fluid and crisp enough with some nice detail, it is especially good in the meticulous backgrounds and some remarkably flexible yet natural movements for Bosko. The music doesn't disappoint either, its infectious energy, rousing merriment, lush orchestration and how well it fits with the animation is just a joy.Sound quality has clarity and the synchronisation isn't sloppy and has imagination. The way Bosko is animated is well done and remarkably natural.On the whole, some very good things but average and a little forgettable. Worth a one-time watch, if not exactly for repeat viewings. 6/10 Bethany Cox
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . it's not very hard to see what the Looney Tunes animators--those experts in prognosticating America's 21st Century Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti--were driving at with BOSKO'S FOX HUNT. First of all, the early scenes of the fox-hunting rabble always picture this Rabid Pack of Deplorables crossing the screen from left to right, indicating with Cassandra-like precision America's Rigged 2016 Election in which the combination of Rampant Voter Suppression, Ludicrously Gerrymandered Congressional Districts, and Foreign Manipulation by KGB Executioner Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin allowed the self-styled "Right" to completely purge Progressives, the Ideals of Democracy, and Freedom from the USA, leaving this nation an anorectic shadow of its former self--merely a failed Soviet Satellite State. The androgynous "fox" (which looks like some sort of rodent) lackadaisically crossing pond after pond without a care in the world during BOSKO'S FOX HUNT foreshadows the upcoming Democratic Candidate from Hell, Hillary. The boor cornering Bosko as this tale closes stands in for Putin (or Satan--is there a discernible difference?), coming to collect his pound of flesh from Bosko's White House Resident-Elect Rump.
Robert Reynolds An average Bosko short notable for basically one thing-Bosko's dog Bruno comes onto the scene. The short is largely unmemorable otherwise. I will discuss this in a little detail, but not much, so this is a mini-spoiler warning: When it comes to fox hunting, my sympathies are wholly with the fox, so the fact that the fox more or less makes the hunters look silly doesn't disturb me in the least. Bosko is Bosko, so he does one or two odd things with (and to) his horse. He and the horse wind up in the mud, courtesy of the fox. Enter Bruno, who tries to help Bosko catch the fox. There are some fun gags with Bruno and a nice bit where Bosko winds up becoming quarry rather than hunter. The ending may be the best gag in the whole short.This is a decent enough cartoon, though it isn't anything special. Hopefully, it will wind up on a future Looney Tunes Golden Collection. Worth watching at least once.
