3.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality, but good for a 70 year old cartoon?, September 14, 2008

This review is from: The Classic Betty Boop Collection: The Vintage Years (DVD)

I got the impression that this would be a top quality, digitally remastered set of Betty's finest cartoons. In reality, one or two of the tracks wouldn't play at all, and most of them are somewhat pixelated. I attribute some of that to low quality DVD burning, and the rest to it being a really, really old cartoon. Some of the original tapes must have been sitting in a wet basement or something, next to a magnet factory. Anyway, there are still some good episodes on here. I especially like the first one, when Betty is at home with her parents. I'm not sure I'd recommend this purchase though, unless you really, really love Betty and can't get enough of youtube-quality, grainy images of her. For me, in the end her lovable cuteness still shines through!

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh! For an "Official" Betty Boop Collection!, July 4, 2009

By 

Richard Ward (Pass Christian, MS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Classic Betty Boop Collection: The Vintage Years (DVD)

I was hugely disappointed in this collection. I found the quality to be no better than much cheaper Betty Boop PD sets, and "I Heard" has such huge pixels that it looks like it could have been downloaded through You Tube. Prospective buyers will have to decide for themselves whether "Minnie the Moocher" and "Snow White" (both Fleischer masterpieces) are worth the price of the set. The cartoons don't play one after the other, but, rather, throw you back to the menu after each one.

Betty Boop is a cultural icon. I don't know why the owners of the original 35mm materials refuse to release a high-quality complete collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!! Minnie the Moocher!!!, March 28, 2008

This is a great compilation of Vintage Betty Boop. It also contains the "Minnie the Moocher" episode featuring Cab Calloway.

The best part is that the last clip on Disc 2 is an interview with creator Max Fleischer that is just fantastic. I didn't see the whole 2 disc contents so I put it in this review so you can know what a great classic collection of Betty Boop you are getting.


Disc 1: 68 Minutes Total Runtime
1.Minnie the Moocher
2.Poor Cinderella
3.Snow White
4.Chess Nuts
5.Stop That Noise
6.Bamboo Isle
7.Be Human
8.Big Boss
9.Betty in Blunderland

Disc 2: 55 Minutes Total Runtime
1.I heard
2.Not Now
3.House Cleaning Blues
4.Musical Mountaineers
5.Betty Boop & Grampy
6.Swat That Fly
7.The Practical Joker

Bonus: "Rise to Fame", an interview with Max Fleischer from 1934. In a live action sequence, a reporter (played by Dave Fleischer) interviewing Max Fleischer asks him about his latest animated star Betty Boop. Max obligingly draws Betty "out of the inkwell" and asks her to perform a couple of numbers.

A MUST OWN!!!
