About Bosko's Fox Hunt

Bosko rides out with horses, hounds, and a gang of animals to hunt a fox. The fox is Foxy, who treats the chase as a game: he hides in a log, drags a tar pit across Bosko's path, and turns the dog and the shotgun back on the hunters. The run ends in a hollow tree with a warthog. The dog swings at the warthog and hits Bosko, who has already finished the fight.

Notes

  • Foxy, usually a Merrie Melodies character, appears as the fox. It is his only Looney Tunes role and his last film appearance.
  • Wikipedia notes that the hunt plot is somewhat like the later Porky's Duck Hunt (1937) and Porky's Hare Hunt (1938).

Scenes

  • Foxy drags a tar pit into the path, and the horse comes out covered in tar.
  • Inside a hollow tree, the dog's club meant for a warthog lands on Bosko.
