there's no feasible way for someone to make shitty horror media out of fricking Bosko of all things, right?

He already went public domain decades ago.
Those were the cartoons and only those up to September of 1932, the character is still under copyright.
>Those were the cartoons and only those up to September of 1932, the character is still under copyright.
His first appearance was in a cartoon that went public domain
Granted, but this is Bosko going extra public domain.
Mickey only has like three or four in the public domain and he's considered public domain enough for people to make shitty horror media. Bosko has like his first 20 or so cartoons in the public domain decades ago.
I think people don't want to use him because of the blackface implications
>Black man finds himself slowly transforming into a cartoon
>No matter how he feels inside, his toon self will only ever let him express silliness
>White people love laughing at him
>This is hell
>Directed by Jordan Peele

>This upsets Bosko who lives in the words with Honey and Bruno.
>Bosko, Honey and Bruno start killing people during the night.
>No survivors, not even Bosko, Honey and Bruno survive.
>Also Bruno has rabies that can be turn on or off for no reason.
The story concept for Blood and Honey was actually well thought out, just poorly executed. It was actually:
>Child befriends wild beasts
>Takes then on picnics and gives them food
>They become dependent on him
>He grows up and leaves for college
>Abandoned, they almost starve to death
>They go feral and eat Eeyore
>He returns from college with new girlfriend and he takes her into the forest
>They take revenge by murdering her and a bunch of other random girls but keep him alive to torment for some reason.
Tbh, the illustration format in the beginning was more interesting than the live action. It would have been better if it were animated and had a more coherent story, I think.
*More coherent storyline
Pooh: Blood and Honey didn't have the budget for that.
There's like 42 cartoons featuring Bosko in his original design from WB
7 cartoons featuring MGM Redesigned Bosko in which he looked like this:
26 of the 42 WB cartoons are PD so that's already way more than the number of Mickey cartoons in the PD
Like everyone said it's likely a matter of people not wanting to use him but I'd also add it's also because WB tried really hard to avoid bringing up the original
Some of the black and whites have Bosko in white gloves, the earlier ones had him gloveless.
would anyone even care
Warner Bros fans would since this is the earliest version of Bosko entering the public domain.
But not if the result is a shitty horror movie where Bosko, Honey and Bruno (Bosko's dog) are murdering people called "Bosko: Blood and Honey".
To complain about it, Bosko’s a bootlipped pickaninny
no
Nobody's gonna touch him with a ten-foot pole
<Thats what they said about Winnie The Pooh and Mickey Mouse but LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!
So?
I do
Same.
Nobody's seriously going to use a racist depiction of a black man, not in 2026, at least. Maybe they could make him lest stereotypical or make him a monkey, but there's still the implication.
>make him a monkey
As a kid I legitimately thought Bosko was a monkey. I didn't realize he was supposed to be black until I was much older
>there's still the implication
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
>NOOOO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN IS COMING SOMEONE'S GONNA MAKE A SHITTY HORROR FLICK OH SAVE ME GIANT IP CONGLOMERATE SAVE ME FROM THIS TERRIBLE FATE
This has to be a shill meme. This has to be something Hollywood cooked up and is trying to push on the kids. Who the frick fricking cares if someone does something to stories so old no one alive was physically conscious when the original video came out? OH NO NOT MY BELOVED WINNIE THE POOH
Literally the only person who has a legitimate reason to care about this is Chris-Chan, and that's because he's a mom-raping psychopath who believes everything done to characters is canon and affects their behavior. That's at best an interesting concept for a meta commentary on cartoon, but it's not fact and it's not energy to spend legally fighting shit.
Stop making these whiny threads, I'm sick of hearing about how awful things are because people make derivative things when the overdue plundering of corporate dragon hordes begin. Seriously, have a nice day for making such a thread, who in their right mind looks at any notions of intellectual property and wants Disney to have more power? A fricking shill that's who.
do you think WB staff cry at nights because of his first character being a blackface cartoon?
No, because nobody cares about him.
They do, otherwise people wouldn't be making horror flicks of these characters.
>these characters
I hope you're not comparing Mickey Mouse to Bosko
Warner Bros sort of does.
