Though Betty began her illustrious career as a dog in Max Fleischer's "Dizzy Dishes," eventually she developed into a shockingly sexy, flapper-styled showgirl with curly locks and a rosebud mouth. Over the years, Betty responded to changing fashions of the day by adopting a more conservative look. This collection offers a wonderful survey that celebrates the magical allure of Betty and her Boop-oop-a-doop.

Betty Boop - Musical Mountaineers - 1939 - 6 minutes, 17 seconds - Black & White - Animated - After running out of gas in hillbilly country, Betty Boop seeks help from the locals, but ends up being held at gunpoint. She proves her identity as a dancer by putting on a demonstration; the hillbillies join in with their genuine bluegrass stylings. Won over, the rustics give Betty a jug of good ol' sour mash to fuel her car.

Betty Boop - Song A Day - 1936 - 6 minutes, 54 seconds - Black & White - Animated - Betty Betty Boop is a nurse at her own animal hospital. Betty tends to sick giraffes, hippos and Billy goats. Her friend Grampy, who comes to her assistance, is a lovable old buzzard.

Betty Boop - Rhythm On The Reservation - 1939 - 6 minutes, 2 seconds - Black & White - Animated - Betty Boop takes an adventure to meet some real life cartoon Indians and they erupt in an orgy of song and dance. Betty is a one-woman swing band. A highlight is the clever manner in which the characters create music and swing. This is the last appearance of Betty Boop. Politically incorrect in major ways - our apologies to the easily offended.

Betty Boop - Stop That Noise - 1935 - 5 minutes, 55 seconds - Black & White - Animated - Driven crazy by urban noises, Betty flees to the country. Betty Boop just wants a little peace and quiet but nature is making too much of a ruckus - with bees, mosquitoes and spiders. All the honking (and burping) ducks, buzzing bees and pesky mosquitoes, pigs and cows send her back to the good old city.

Sing Or Swim - 1948 - 7 minutes, 11 seconds - Color - Animated - The setting is Coney Island, the famous Brooklyn beach which is crammed with wall-to-wall bathers enjoying amusement park rides and getting into innocent trouble in the sand. The final song, appropriately enough, is By the Beautiful Sea. This series was of animated cartoons that took popular songs of the day and combined Famous Studios animated stars in an effort for audience singalongs.

The Music Academy - 1965 - 7 minutes, 23 seconds - Color - Animated - The music professor has his work cut out for him as his pupils' enthusiasm for Liszt, Wagner and Mendelssohn's music get them into trouble with their instruments. This series of color films first aired on BBC television in 1965. Based on the books of caricaturist and musician Gerard Hoffnung.

Mary's Little Lamb - 1935 - 7 minutes, 15 seconds - Color - Animated - An updated version of the classic nursery rhyme in which Mary's persistent pet lamb follows her to school. After several pupils perform, the lamb disrupts the entire class while showing hilarious talent of its own. Retitled Mary's Little Lamb at School for home exhibition.

Old MacDonald Had A Farm - Animated

Musical Memories - 1935 - 6 minutes, 54 seconds - Color - Animated - A medley of popular turn-of-the-century songs accompanies an old couple's reminiscences of their youth and courtship.

Picture-Quality varies on the DVD as each film has experienced the ravages of time!!
