Bosko pops out of the bottle and promises to return.
Bosko speaks, sings, dances and plays the piano before the cartoonist sucks him into his ink pen and pours him back into the inkwell. In the film, a cartoonist (portrayed in live action by Rudolf Ising) draws Bosko, who comes to life. The film was produced in May 1929, directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. ' Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid', a 1929 live-action short film produced to sell a series of Bosko cartoons, was never released to theaters, and therefore not seen by a wide audience until 71 years later on Cartoon Network's television special Toonheads: The Lost Cartoons on March 12, 2000, although in an edited form.
