Dreams of a Rarebit Hound, as the loveable cartoon pup Bonzo discovers that a late night sausage feast can lead to some disturbing dreams
Animation & Artists Moving Image 1925 9 mins Silent
Overview
Bonzo the Dog, the adorable cartoon star of the 1920s was very fond of a sausage or two. But here his bursting belly inspires fevered dreams in which his dinner bites back… Though slowly paced to modern eyes, stick with it as the action gets more delightfully surreal as the cartoon progresses.
