Betty Boop - Series 1 Ep. 15 - Rise to Fame

Animation meets live action

06 December 2008

This is a bit different in that the famous Max Fleischer, who drew and produced these great animated shorts, interacts with Betty. It's all set up by a reporter (played by Max' brother Dave) wanting an interview.

Max draws Betty (very quickly) and she suddenly comes to life. She calls him, "Uncle Maxie."

What we wind up seeing are some clips from a few other of Miss Boop's cartoons, such as the one she imitates a few singers, such as Fanny Bryce, and then imitates a Hawaiian Hula dancer. This was right before the censors put a little more clothing on her. All she's wearing on top is a lei, and, yes, they draw her breasts in there, albeit not prominently displayed. Her hip movements were pretty sexy, too.
