Shorts! Betty Boop: Poor Cinderella
How's It Hold Up? - A podcast by Danika Juarez - Wednesdays
Categories:
Today's Betty Boop is the first Boop in color (and the last, at least by the Fleischers), and is also technically not a Betty Boop but the start of the Color Classics series. It sees Betty in a retelling of Cinderella, complete with musical numbers, pretty dresses, a prince, and a fairy godmother. This short is also another example of the sorts of color cartoons that studios other than Disney were putting out during the period where Disney had sole claim to the 3-Strip Technicolor process, and an early example of the Fleischer technique of 3D-sculpted backgrounds. With all that going on in this short... is it actually any good? Listen to find out! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howsitholdup/support
