Bosko's Knight-Mare is a 1933 Looney Tunes animated short film featuring Bosko, the first star of the series.[1] The film was directed by Hugh Harman.[2] The film score was composed by Frank Marsales.

Summary

Bosko falls asleep while reading about medieval chivalry, and dreams that he's one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, along with caricatures of the Marx Brothers, Jimmy Durante, Laurel and Hardy, and Mahatma Gandhi. The villainous Black Knight kidnaps Honey, and Bosko rides to the rescue. The dream ends as Bosko chops up a suit of armor, then jumps back into bed.
