An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Betty Boop is an animated sex symbol cartoon character created in 1930 by Max Fleischer. She appeared in a huge number of cartoons from 1929 to 1939 and still remains a popular character to this day. Note that Max Fleischer (along with his brother Dave) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount seized control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over. Important Added Info: Note that this great still is undated, and it is unclear when it is from. It was found in a Swedish archive, and has Swedish stamps on the back, but it is an American still, and is likely from the 1930s or possibly the 1940s. Condition: good to very good. There are two circular brown stains in the top right blank white background area. There are many faint smudges, stains and tiny creases throughout the still, but fortunately, there are very few in the image of Betty Boop. Learn More about condition grades
