Regarded as one of the first and most famous sex symbols on the animated screen, Betty Boop was a symbol of the Depression era and a reminder of the more carefree days of the Roaring Twenties. Her popularity was drawn larger from adult audiences and the cartoons, while seemingly surreal, contained many sexual and psychological elements. Features twelve re-mastered episodes from over four thousand scans of the original negatives and finegrains.
