This work on Betty Boop had two interviewees and the narrator is never seen. I really think this work was intended to focus on the technical aspects of this cartoon, rather than anything else. You learn stuff here. Betty Boop was originally a dog-like cartoon. Cartoons were meant for all ages, not just children, and thus they had many double entendres. Cartoons were made by young, American men. In the autobiography of Bart's voice, she said the Simpsons are drawn and painted in Korea. So much has changed in animation. This film had modern people raving about Betty Boop. However, her popularity could have been proven by showing some famous person from the 1930 raving about her. The narrator says, "Betty Boop offered a female lead character at a time when feminism was unheard-of." WRONG! First-wave feminists organized to get women the right to vote 10 years before Betty's creation. Further, Betty's depiction takes from the 1920s New Woman and a bit from flappers. This work really could have benefited from an interviewee with a academic knowledgeable about feminism and media studies. They say she launched Popeye's career, but I wonder if Olive Oyl were drawn in response/opposite to her. This work says Betty is still popular. However, it says nothing of her guest appearance in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" It says nothing about the 1990s dance song "Betty Boo just doin' the doo." It seem truncated and incomplete at times.  Comment | Permalink |  function showYesNoCommunityResponse(uId,result,value) { var msgLayer = getElement("thanks" + uId); if ( result == "SUCCESS" ) { msgLayer.innerHTML = "Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.com readers and reviewers.
