![]() (For the rest of its existence, the Fleischers were unable to come up with any other original cartoon characters that gained any substantial degree of popularity. A large scale spectacle, it showcased Max Fleischer's new three-dimensional process, in which animation was photographed against minature sets. Seymour Kneitel's Poor Cinderella (Fleischer, 1934), was the first color film for both Betty and Fleischer. Betty, though, was another story and was an instant hit. The Fleischers initially came up with Bimbo, the dog, but without much success. During the silent period, the studio had relied on Koko the Clown, who dated back to Max and Dave Fleischer's first films and whose popularity, as Mark Langer has pointed out to me, paled besides that of someone like Felix the Cat. What is known is that Paramount was eager for Fleischer Studios to come up with a viable cartoon star to compete with the likes of Mickey Mouse. ![]() (Kane later protested, suing both Fleischer and Paramount for damages, but failed to convince the judge and lost.) However, the idea may just as well have come from Paramount Pictures, Fleischer's distributor and who also had Helen Kane under contract. Natwick stated that Dave Fleischer brought him a piece of sheet music with a picture of Kane on it and instructed him to make her into a cartoon character. Who exactly had the original idea for creating Boop is not exactly clear. Based on the persona of singer Helen Kane, she was initially designed by the legendary Grim Natwick (possibly assisted by Ted Sears), who also animated Betty in her screen debut, Dizzy Dishes (1930). (Thus, the only listing of the films is on the box for each tape and there is no information on release dates.) For this, the blame must fall on Republic's shoulders, rather than on Jerry Beck, who nominally curated the set, and who certainly would have preferred to do otherwise.īetty, who celebrated her 65th birthday last year, is rightly celebrated as the first major female cartoon star. Also, the films are arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, which is somewhat offputting, given the lack of proper liner notes.ĭespite its flaws, the collection is an invaluable resource for both animation buffs and historians, as it provides the first large scale collection of films from the Fleischer Studios available in video however, it is a shame that it was not issued in laserdisc format (which seems to have been the original intent) and that it lacks any program notes worthy of the name. Also, one film, Romantic Melodies is presented in a black & white print of a colorized version of the film, though better material certainly exists. One of her early films, Accordion Joe, seems to have been inadvertently left out, while Republic did not have the rights to Popeye the Sailor, an official Boop film in which she only appears briefly, and to four other late films which are mostly lost: Pudgy and the Lost Kitten, Buzzy Boop (which does exist in some poor 16mm prints), Buzzy Boop at the Concert and Honest Love and True. – 20-30 days for worldwide’s delivery.Republic Pictures has just released a boxed set of almost all the extant Fleischer Betty Boop shorts as Betty Boop: The Definitive Collection.
