BOOP’S BACK ON THE SILVER SCREEN

Several Betty Boop shorts preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, along with new prints struck from original nitrate negatives, titillated movie-goers in 1995 in a critically acclaimed feature-length cartoon retrospective called BETTY BOOP CONFIDENTIAL. Among the classics included in the compilation is SNOW WHITE – a Betty Boop short featuring Cab Calloway that was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1996 – which was produced years before the Disney feature of the same name. Betty Boop has been a long time favorite of so many people, some believe she real and not just a cartoon character. She will live in the hearts of many and live on with her character tin signs.
