Shame on these bumbling, amateur DVD producers. Do not waste a penny on this shoddily manufactured 2-disc set compiled from damaged, inferior source materials.

At least one of the episodes ("I Heard") appears to have been sourced directly from a low-res file on YouTube. It would barely be watchable on a tiny iPhone screen. Viewing it on your family's television will make you nauseous.

Episodes not sucked down from YouTube stutter horribly, as if copied directly from sources with non-US frame rates, or grabbed from copy-protected discs via a poorly implemented, legally questionable process that left visible artifacts. The video stuttering is not something you can get used to or overlook: watching more than a few episodes induces eye fatigue and headache.

But wait, there's more! Audio volume from one episode to another has not been normalized and fluctuates wildly. Set the volume adequately for one episode, and you can't hear the next. Turn up the volume so you can hear that one, and the one that follows blows out your speakers.

There are no liner notes, and there is no button to "Play All." After each five minute cartoon finishes, you are dumped back to menu where you must manually select another cartoon.

The menu contains a needle-drop jazz-blues audio track that is easily twice as loud as any of the cartoons, blasting you out of your seat. The blues-jazz track, complete with 1960s-style Fender bass, has absolutely nothing to do with the early 1930s jazz that the Betty Boop cartoons were designed around, but you get the feeling that the incompetents who hastily banged together this shoddy collection thought they were matching the feeling of Betty Boop when they dumped this crummy track on their menu.

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!

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.

This is not an official release. For whatever reasons the 8-volume Betty Boop - The Definitive Collection [VHS] released 11 years ago on VHS & Laserdisc formats, the (so far) ultimate and remastered collection, remains unreleased by the copyright holder, Republic Pictures Home Video. People are reporting problems with these discs, hardly suprising, since they're buying them from pirates, and not the copyright holder.

Do yourself a favor-- buy the video box set, and if you really *must* have them on DVD transfer them to DVD yourself, most new computers with a DVD burner can do this with a minimum of fuss and effort.

This dvd set is most likely just pulled from the internet archive collection. It has either a faulty 3:2 pull-down flutter or the wrong interlacing order applied to it. Either way, the image is stuttering here and there as it plays, which makes it a useless dvd set. Don't buy it.

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!!!
