A reporter interviews Max Fleischer and Betty Boop appears to show him her stuff by reprising scenes from the cartoons Stopping the Show, Bamboo Isle, and The Old Man of the Mountain. Although most of this cartoon consists of these repeated scenes, the scenes where Betty interacts with Fleischer and the reporter are lots of fun. You can tell this is pre-code, because at one point while Betty is dancing the hula in a scene from Bamboo Isle, the reporter’s pencil makes a gesture that is very close to being obscene! I love this sort of cartoon-character-comes-to-life toon, so I enjoyed this thoroughly. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ****.

I think the rotoscoping of Calloway was used in another Betty Boop toon involving ghost and skeletons.

For instance - on this cartoon the download file size for the MPEG2 says it should be 416MB when in fact the actual file is only 397MB according to the FTP and HTTP files. download file error ThePerfectStranger 2008-05-15 12:15:39 2008-05-15 12:15:39 1 Betty Boop Is voiced by Bonnie poe in this Cartoon and for some of the old clips features the voice of mae Questel Betty Boop Shows a few of her past shows she jumps into Stopping the show and preforms Thats my weakness now, which is a helen kane song, betty boops a whole helen kane imitation anyway Then she sings Fannie brices - Im an indian Then she sings Hello beautiful All preformed by mae questel then betty boop enters the Bamboo isle when she redoes the hula dance, with mae questels voice then she goes into the Old man of the mountain where she preforms you got to hidey hi! which sounds like ame questel but might be bonnie poe.
