The Looney Tunes are a staple in animation history. But that comes with a caveat of remembering the first looney tunes were based off minstrel show. In this deep dive I'm going over the start of the looney tunes with Bosko and Honey and how their roots are based in almost forgotten American history. As well as if they can have a place in the modern day. #looneytunes #warnerbros #animation
