======================================= | Betty Boop Classic Shorts Collection| ======================================= Betty Boop is an animated cartoon character created by Max Fleischer, with contributions from animator Grim Natwick among others. She originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop series of films which were produced by Fleischer Studios and released b Paramount Pictures. The character was modeled on superstar actress Clara Bow, the It-girl whose sweet and seductive baby-doll looks was a well established marquee at the time. Bow kept her grip on her audience through the transition to sound, 1928/1929, and her muted but characteristic Brooklyn accent, singer Helen Kane, effectively caricatured. Also, the choice of name for the cartoon, is built on Clara Bow's three syllable name. Betty Boop was originally created in the mode of an anthropomorphic French poodle. Max Fleischer finalized Betty Boop as completely human by 1932 in the cartoon Any Rags. Her floppy poodle ears became hoop earrings, and her black poodle nose became a girl's button-like nose. Betty appeared in ten cartoons as a supporting character, a flapper girl with more heart than brains. In individual cartoons, she was called "Nancy Lee" and "Nan McGrew", usually serving as a girlfriend to studio star Bimbo. more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boop and http://italy.imdb.com/keyword/betty-boop/ ==================== | Sample File Specs| ==================== Source : Retail PAL DVD Format : AVI at 2 164 Kbps Length : 110 MiB for 7mn 6s 400ms Video : MPEG-4 Visual at 1 962 Kbps Aspect : 576 x 432 (1.333) at 25.000 fps Audio : AC-3 at 192 Kbps Infos : 2 channels, 48.0 KHz ================ |List of shorts| ================ VOL/DVD 1 ================ * La naissance de Betty - Birth of Betty - 53 min * 1- Restaurant en Folie - Dizzy Dishes, 09/08/1930 2- Bill Bernacle - Barnacle Bill, 31/08/1930 3- Le MystΘrieux Mose - Mysterious Mose, 26/12/1930 4- Le Bandit Minable - The Bum Bandit, 03/04/1931 5- Scandales Inoffensifs - Silly Scandals, 23/05/1931 6- Bimbo Express - BimboÆs Express, 22/08/1931 7- On Garde BΘbΘ - Minding the Baby, 26/09/1931 8- Masque en Rade - Mask-A-Raid, 07/11/1931 * Avant le code Hays - Pre-Code - 51 min * 9- Boop-Oop-a-Doop - Boop-Oop-A-Doop, 16/01/1932 10- S.O.S. - S.O.S., 11/03/1932 11- Echec au Roi - Chess-Nuts, 13/05/1932 12- La Chasse est Ouverte - A Hunting We Will Go, 29/04/1932 13- Betty Boop aux Fourneaux - Betty BoopÆs Bizzy Bee, 19/08/1932 14- Betty Boop la VahinΘ - Betty BoopÆs Bamboo Island, 23/09/1932 15- Betty Boop α la Maison Blanche - Betty Boop for President, 04/11/1932 * Les Stars du Jazz - Jazzy Guest Stars - 57 min * 16- Minnie la Morue - Minnie the Moocher, 26/02/1932 17- Je Serai Content Quand tu Seras Mort, Vieille Canaille - IÆll Be Glad When YouÆre Dead You Rascal You, 25/11/1932 18- Blanche-Neige - Snow-White, 31/03/1933 19- Le Vieux de la Montagne - The Old Man of the Mountain, 04/08/1933 20- Kitty de Kansas City - Kitty From Kansas City, 31/10/1931 21- Chantons avec Rudy Vallee - Rudy Vallee Melodies, 05/08/1932 22- Tu Essaies avec quelqu'un d'Autre - You Try Somebody Else, 29/07/1932 Bonus : Introduction by Richard Fleischer VOL/DVD 2 ================ * SURR╔ALISME - Surrealism - 54 min * 1- Le Bizutage de Bimbo - BimboÆs Initiation, 24/07/1931 2- Le Robot - The Robot, 05/02/1932 3- Une Ville de Fous - Crazy-Town, 25/03/1932 4- Docteur Betty Boop - Betty Boop M.D., 02/09/1932 5- Des Hauts et des Bas - Betty BoopÆs Ups and Downs, 14/10/1932 6- Betty α Luna Park - Betty BoopÆs May Party, 12/05/1933 7- Une Fille en Chaleur - Red Hot Mamma, 02/02/1934 8- Ha!
