The moment when kittens came out and admit their guilt is most adorable thing I seen today

[@potatospuad7260]

Very funny. I’m feeling very down right now and this made me laugh alot😂 those cats are very mischievous 😂

[@michaelcornett444]

By this time the "Betty Boop" series was focusing more on the cute antics of her dog Pudgy and Betty increasingly took a back seat. Her pre-code cartoons were often pretty racy and surreal, but by now were just cute fun-around-the-house stuff, and sadly less funny and interesting. They would also use her as a way of introducing various comic-strip characters, like Popeye, seemingly in hopes of starting new series. Fleischer would drop Betty in a few years to focus more on Popeye and later Superman.

That’s so intresting, I’ve heard a bit about this code people talk about and how it kinda censored tv

[@michaelcornett444]

@@TheeKittyPie The Hays Code, as it's known, was adopted in 1934 by Hollywood as a form of self-censorship after some protests by moral crusaders. Under it, there could be no nudity, no sex, kisses had to be only 3 seconds and you had to keep at least one foot on the floor, you couldn't point a gun at the camera, couldn't mock clergy or religion, etc. etc. etc. Some films found workarounds or found ways to suggest stuff, or were allowed to get away with something because the story called for it. But by the mid-50s society had moved on and it seemed like an antique, and was officially abandoned in the early 60s.

[@NoelleCurtis-gu3sb]

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen in the entire world.

They used to show Betty Boop cartoon at the theater at Henry Ford Museum while they did the Great Escape Weekend from 1983 to 1986, it featured the 1930s in 1986. They show other shorts besides Betty Boop cartoon, they also put Popeye The Sailor Man, and Laurel & Hardy shorts from the 1930s. Betty Boop, Popeye The Sailor Man, and Laurel & Hardy does go together with Greenfield Village. I thought the Great Escape is a popular event at Henry Ford Museum but it last only 4 years. How sad it is. They also have classic cars of the 1930s, dance contest of the 1930s, and soda fountain of the 1930s back in 1986.

I've always wanted to sit at a soda bar in a pharmacy but they don't have it anymore so maybe i'll check that out

2:13 Just when I thought that his torso was clearly thinner than his head, he slipped the collar through his torso! Damn it, I love these cartoons

[@mattleinhauser9166]

I will always love my Betty boop. She is so adorable ❤❤❤❤

[@Spiralredd]

And her animals are even more adorable 😊

[@ezequielgomez7083]

I love the part of sound note that I hear of triple cats 0:52

[@elleusive]

Pudgy was so sweet to share his food with these devils after all the chaos they've caused.

[@coltonstillwell3590]

They admitted to their misdeeds in the end when they saw Pudgy getting punished for it, I wouldn’t say they’re devils, just rascals.

[@elleusive]

@@coltonstillwell3590 Yeah, that We did it part was so cute! They're not so bad, after all.

[@101Volts]

They were apologetic. The Cat in the "Taking the Blame" episode was *not* apologetic, so the only thing it got was a trip to the doghouse. Though I think they went a bit stronger on it than was necessary, at the same time, it probably would have scratched anyone who got near it. Darn evil, greedy cat...

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Those kitties blame themselves

[@salomeheredia9885]

The last moment is so adorable 😭

[@sanswifeandgf1939]

Poor puppy 🐶 🙁

[@stephaniecruzado384]

Betty is a pet owner she should known better than to give them the ice cream so close to all that broken plates they could have sallowed some of the pieces

[@realchristian77010]

4:40 The "We Did It" song reminds me of Dora The Explorer...

[@jamespfrommer2003]

But it sounds depressing

[@juancarlosmontes]

I was expecting to hear a stolen song, but this was "we did it" as in the sense of confessing our guilt, while Dora's was self-congratulating while hi-fiving a partner for their accomplishment.

[@Greg_quarles-fn2001]

Facts

[@gabrielmacale5404]

It's not pudgy's fault it was kittens

[@Juhcoutinho.]

_Esther Jones is the name of the real Betty boop. The iconic cartoon character Betty boop was inspired by a black jazz singer from harlem. Introduced by cartoonist Max fleischer in 1930, the mellow jazz caricature was the first and most famous sex symbol of animation._

[@michaelcornett444]

Partly true...Betty Boop was originally an anthropomorphic poodle. Her voice was a parody of Helen Kane, then a popular singer. Kane sued Fleischer claiming they stole her signature "boop-boop-a-doop" but Fleischer successfully defended by showing that Kane had stolen it from Esther Jones, who used to perform as "Baby Esther." By this time Esther had dropped off the map and her whereabouts were unknown. Betty was never directly based on Esther; claims that she was, or that Esther herself fought for rights to the character in court, are fiction. Few if any photos exist of Esther...some that are purported to be her, that look like Betty, are really of a model doing a Betty Boop-themed costume.

[@stephaniecruzado384]

Betty should have realized three kittens is too much for one person to handle

[@ryanwhite7398]

why didnt she punish the cats

[@domagojcapko4152]

Because they were fair enough to admit their guilt

[@101Volts]

Those ones were apologetic, but the one in the "Taking the Blame" episode did *not* get off easily since it was unrepentant.

[@majidmeziane4988]

I don't understand why she has to shake the dog. She's going to kill him that way

[@nealebrown5584]

Pudgy, don’t let your master see you.

[@adriennesimpkins2275]

That's my mom after she found out that it wasn't me and I was telling the truth and I'm pudgy crying like a little baby and then she rewards me to make it up to me sorry everyone even for me as a parent I still getting that loving hug and kiss and my mom says I'm sorry

Muito bacana esse desenho

[@nenacastro7923]

Pena que os marmanjos da época queriam ver a betty boop em trajes menores, deviam aproveitar que ela estava no sucesso e pedir episódios novos iguais a esse ou melhores, só porque ela virou dona de casa

[@wgcds7jyg897]

Yes, it’s just a cartoon. Still, violently shaking and hitting the dog is abuse. Not cool, Betty.

What is this is Bimbo

[@Mernie225]

Marco Antonio Alvino Daviran No that is her pet dog pudgy. Bimbo hadn’t appeared on the Betty Boop series since 1933 I think.

[@domagojcapko4152]

@@Mernie225 I read somewhere that they culled Bimbo out due to specy complain, because he's dog and Betty is human, so some people found it as promoting zoophillia (don't forget those were 1930's)

[@KnightTheValet]

@@domagojcapko4152 now I question why they couldn't make him a human like with Betty boop (since she was originally a poodle)

[@101Volts]

@@KnightTheValet It might not be that they couldn't, but they may have removed him to either (1) just focus on Betty, or (2) because maybe Bimbo wasn't very popular, or (3) both? It's a bit disappointing to me that Koko the Clown seems to have also been removed at the same time as Bimbo, though. Not that Koko needed to be in every episode. Or did he make a few appearances later on?

[@KnightTheValet]

@@101Volts I’d say both!
