What happens

Hold Anything is a 1930 American comedy short film directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. It is the third film in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko. It was released as early as August 9, 1930. It is loosely based on the lost film Hold Everything, one of whose songs, "Don't Hold Everything", features prominently in the cartoon. It was animated by Isadore "Friz" Freleng and Norman Blackburn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
