  • It's said to be one of the best cartoons ever made, so of course it's dark as Hell. Doug looks over the animated classic Betty Boop in Snow White. Let's take a look at this classic cartoon in a new Dark Toons.

    Snow-White, also known as Betty Boop in Snow-White, is a film in the Betty Boop series from Max Fleischer's Fleischer Studios directed in 1933. Dave Fleischer was credited as director, although virtually all the animation was done by Roland Crandall. Crandall received the opportunity to make Snow-White on his own as a reward for his several years of devotion to the Fleischer studio, and the resulting film is considered both his masterwork and an important milestone of The Golden Age of American animation. Snow-White took Crandall six months to complete.

      It was a different era back then. You could get away with a lot more in a kids cartoon than you can today. And cartoons for adults didn't actually exist back then, that's actually a relatively new concept, so new that most people still see cartoons as being strictly for kids. But it's only really in the 90's that cartoons for adults started to become a thing and this was LONG before that when no one was thinking that this kind of stuff would have any appeal for adults.

Him preferred to play sick mind games with the PPG in order to destroy them.

    Every so often, UPA (the studio responsible for the original Mr. Magoo) would whip out a heaping dose of macabre, especially in stand-alone shorts. The best offhand example would be their 1953 adaptation of "The Tell-Tale Heart", which for an 8-minute cartoon steers impressively deep into the psychological horror. It's worth a review.

If Doug has the chance, I think he should look at Disney's Prince and the Pauper and Mickey's Christmas Carol short films as I always thought that they had some scary scenes and atmosphere that were a little scarier than the usual Disney shorts.

      I just looked it up. According to the Betty Boop Wiki: "Betty is aged 13-16 in the original cartoon series from 1932-1934."
      16 seems to have been the age of consent during that era, so in that context it sorta makes sense, but it's still really weird to me having been raised by the standards of today. Also, under that same context - why would she sometimes be depicted as YOUNGER than 16? I mean... 13 years old? Really? First off, Betty wouldn't have had NEARLY that kind of body around that age, and secondly WHY WOULD SHE BE SEXUALIZED AT 13?? IT MAKES NO SENSE EVEN IN CONTEXT!!

    I love this. Whenever I think of a good Halloween cartoon, this and Minnie the Moocher will alaays pop up. The best thing is, since I just watched it again recently after PLAYING Cuphead, I notice exactly how much inspiration they took from it. I knew that most of their influence came from Fleischer, but I mean, they took the backgrounds of this specific short and just ran with it for Inkwell Hell. I love the backgrounds in all the Inkwell Hell stages, so after paying closer attention to this one, I love this short more now. I really want to see more out of Betty Boop, because I really don't know where to find compilations of shorts, and I've pretty much seen all the ones that are on TH-cam. Popeye would also be nice to see more of. I used to just sort of respect Fleischer for what it did, but lately after watching a lot more of these shorts, I realize that I actually do enjoy the shorts. I'll also admit that I've sort of been noticing the opposite for Disney. I ama massive Disney fan, but after watching a lot of the earlier shorts that are mainly just Mickey or Silly Symphonies, I kind of don't enjoy them as much as I respect their history. I wish Paramount would make the Fleischer toons more easily avaibable for streaming so I could further enjoy these great, dark, funny cartoons.

Though Charlie herself is a bit lacklustre, in my opinion.) In terms of pure creativity in character design, I'm apt to go for the amazing world of gumball. They have a consistent style of animation for the main family and just go bonkers with it! Ren and stimpy does it too.
