Its odd taht Betty Boops reign as a Cartoon Star was so short. Could you be;ieve that in the day they thought that an animated character was too sexy and made Betty cover up. That seemed to hurt her appeal and she was soon replaced in her own cartoons by Gramps and Pudgy the Dog. It was a short ride but a fun ride.
:rolleyes:

Yeah, those last Betty Boop cartoons are painful to watch. Still, the series ran for a decade, more than 100 cartoons, which isn't a bad run. |

I have the feeling that someday they will run out of ideas in Hollywood and reimagine Betty Boop. In other words create another character and then use whatever value Betty Boops name still has to sell it. And once again fiasco time. |

Well, in 1993 they apparently came this close. According to this old post at Cartoon Brew, a truly horrible reincarnation of Betty Boop in a feature film was planned. Looks like it was going to incorporate lots of those warm-fuzzy/touchy-feely moments that make contemporary animation such a joy to those of us who grew up looking forward to characters getting blown to smithereens by fortuitously-materializing sticks of TNT. BTW, the links to the mentioned clips from the animatic no longer lead there, so you'll just have to use your imagination. |

I think that they mention this on Wikipedia and another attempt in 2002 but both were scrapped becuase they were so terrible that they wouldnt release them. When you see the crap they do release these must have been truly garbage! Thank God they were never going to see the light of day. It seems to be that they asked Julia Louise Dreyfuss is she wanted to be a live action Betty Boop and she laughed them out of her dressing room. |
