Bosko makes his first appearance in a theatrical film, and his second appearance of any kind.

It was supervised by Hugh Harman and and Rudolf Ising (both uncredited) and produced by Hugh Harman, Rudolf Ising and Leon Schlesinger and musical score by Frank Marsales. Made in 1930, this short marked the theatrical debut of Bosko the "Talk-Ink-Kid" whom Harman and Ising had created to show to Warner Brothers. Bosko became their first star character, surpassed only much later by Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. Notably, this is the only publicly released Bosko short to feature Bosko's original blackface dialect; he would later adopt a more falsetto voice for later films. Also, this is the first publicly released non-Disney cartoon to have a pre-recorded soundtrack[citation needed] (in addition, "Bosko the Talk-Ink-Kid" had a pre-synched track). The song "Singing in the Bathtub", sung here by Bosko, was originally introduced in the Warner Bros. feature The Show of Shows (1929). In addition to everything else, "Singin' in the Bathtub" was Warner Bros' response to MGM's "Singin' in the Rain" (written in 1929, years before the Gene Kelly movie).
