This is a very cheap DVD that presents (8) representative Betty Boop cartoons. These are not among her best, but most in this group are very good & offer a pretty good sampler of the series. The picture quality is very good -- far better than the price would suggest. I hope someday GoodTimes (or somebody) releases the best Boops (like "Snow White" and "Minnie the Moocher") but this disk nevertheless offers a good selection at a great price.

I have noticed some mixed reviews about this product with most of the negative ones being ghost written by our competition so i wanted to tell everyone the real truth about this product since we are the people who produced it. I am using my wifes Amazon account to post this.

We have taken some of the greatest classic cartoons ever produced, from some of the greatest animators in history, and meticulously added hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars of detailed restoration to both the sound and images in order to make them look as good as they did the day they were first released. Each cartoon is digitally processed first through photo shop frame by frame, and then using both the Davinci and the new Pogo systems to remove every scratch, line, dropout and artifact possible. We then we do a full color restoration at Technicolor using the original color palates to match the colors, tones and shades. We then digitally clean up the sound track to remove all the hiss and scratches and carefully add new foley sound effects, ambience and digitally remix them back onto the cartoons.

The result is our animated DVD series which is currently distributed in both the United States and Canada by Goodtimes Entertainment. These fully restored, full motion, color animations have not been seen in this condition since their original theatrical release. Sit back and be amazed and enjoy some of the finest and funniest animation ever made.

thats why were to only studio doing these that have the blessing and participation of Fleischer Studios and the only one to receive the prestigious Gold Medal from the Classic Animation Preservation Society.

I highly recomend this product to any lovers of classic animation.

I was expecting a typical rough copy, but this set of cartoons is a class A restoration. The sound is the clerest I have heard!

This collection of Betty Boop cartoons is one of the best available. The Sound and picture quality are also one of the best available. It's well worth the price. It's one of 3 DVD's of Betty Boop cartoons released by GoodTimes. I love classic cartoons. As far a classic old black & White cartoons go, none are better than Betty Boop cartoons. I've read many of the other reviewers complaining about not having many of the earlier racier cartoons available. In my opinion the early cartoons although fun, are not really better. Just less kid friendly. Many of them are just plain odd and don't really make any sense. They just showcased jazz music from the era. There is nothing wrong with Pudgy either! lol - Kids will love him, and so do I. How could anyone not enjoy the adventure of Betty & her cute little dog? lol - The bottom line is, there are no cartoons being done today that come close to the greatness of these classics. You owe it to yourself and to your children, to expose them to this great film history and art form.
