 Bosko
Bosko is a cartoon character created by animators Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising.
Harman designed the character (consciously modeling him after Felix the Cat) and, in 1929, starred him in a short film called "Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid[?]" that showcased their ability to animate soundtrack-synchronized speech and dancing.
Although Harman and Ising based Bosko's looks on Felix the Cat, Bosko, like Mickey, got his personality from the flface characters of the minstrel and vaudeville shows popular in the 1930s.

Vaudeville was the major entertainment of the time, and the cartoons of the era are better understood when compared to it rather than to animation of later decades.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: MGM Studios Cartoons
Harman and Ising quickly succeeded in making MGM a major player in the cartoon market, and their reward was to be booted out.
In 1937, the studio established an in-house cartoon department, and installed Fred Quimby, who had years of meritorious service to the company as a film salesman, as its producer.
But the staff he put together (even Harman and Ising came back in 1939, and stayed a couple more years) eventually started putting out some pretty decent cartoons.
