1.0 out of 5 stars Not What You'd Expect, May 13, 2006

This review is from: Betty Boop For President (DVD)

CAUTION!!! If you're looking for the original Betty Boop for President from 1932, this is not it. Instead, it's a compilation of video clips from a number of BB cartoons that have been spliced together with new audio to create a loose and awkward story of Betty's running for President in 1980! To make it worse, the producer made it a musical, using 1980-period music of various quality. There are a couple of clips of original sound, but not many, and not for long.

Betty's voice is not the original Mae Questel, whose light, perky and happy voice indeared Betty to the world. By comparison, the voice used in this production more often sounds as if it's whining, and the dialog does not help, either.

The creativity and daring of the Max Fleischer studios is completely lost with the half-hearted and uneven attempt of the writers and editors of this movie to join together disparate cartoon clips to create a cohesive movie. They failed miserably.

The best thing I can say about this movie is that at its cost, I didn't mind losing what I paid for it.

This review is from: Betty Boop For President (DVD)

This is not a compilation of Betty Boop cartoons, or a colorized version of the old cartoons with new voices. During the late 70's/early 80's it was decided that Betty Boop needed to be updated for the next generation. The original cartoons were sent to Korea, and were re-drawn and colored by artists there. The intent was to make a version of Betty for modern TV, but when the producers saw the results, the program was shelved. Someone had the idea to string the parts together and try to make a story out of them, but they should have let the project die. Not worth buying out of a dollar bin.

This is just plain hilarious. If you like to laugh, and don't take yourself to serious you should have fun with this, if you do not like sarcastic humor, you may not.
