1929Wait 1929 would count Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid. But that was never relased in theaters, that's interesting?
Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid, a 1929 live-action short film produced to sell a series of Bosko cartoons, was not released to theaters, and therefore not seen by a wide audience until 70 years later on Cartoon Network's television special Toonheads: The Lost Cartoons on March 12, 2000, although in an edited form. The film was produced in May 1929, directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. In the film, a cartoonist (portrayed in live action by Rudolph Ising) draws Bosko, who comes to life. Bosko speaks, sings, dances and plays the piano before the cartoonist sucks him into his ink pen and pours him back into the inkwell. Bosko pops out of the bottle and promises to return. The film is Bosko's first appearance.
The full cartoon is present on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 as a special feature.
