Betty Boop (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) [DVD]

My son LOVES Betty Boop, and he had a few DVDs that be totally wore out. Like most cartoons from the early part of the century, some cartoons on his original dvds showed just how far a lot of things have come, but had nothing truely "offensive" (not in my opionion anyway). This one, however had a few cartoons that I found absolutely inappropriate for kids. In one called "be human", (and I'm aware that the "moral" of the story was that you're NOT supposed to be cruel to animals) it showed this guy that liked beating on his dog, while the poor puppy cries and hollers (kinda intense visuals for a small child). And another one showed this "bad guy" kindnapping this woman, tying her to a tree and setting it on fire. In all fairness, I must also acknowedge that "betty boop" was originally intended for ADULT audiences (the cartoons were shown in theatres as a "pre-buffer" before movies started). I have also seen betty boop cartoons where they show 3 little black children sing "heidi-ho, heidi-ho, heedy-he, heedy-he" and then crying until someone tempts them with a slice of watermelon to be quiet. Needless to say, ANYTHING you plan to showcase to your kids should be reviewed by you, the parent, first. Just a heads up!

Great movie. Came fast. Wasn't scratched

I got this for my girlfriend and me to watch. She likes the character me, not so much. But I enjoy watching them with me and the do make me laugh. This is more of an adult cartoon (no they're not dirty) and it helps if you understand the American culture of the 20's, 30's and 40's.

Has the TV titles, but usually also the Fleischer titles, with the credits. Although certainly not a complete set, it is a two discs with 42 cartoons, and the Betty Boop cartoons are among the best ever made (and many of these include the Stereoptical (multiplanar) process, so you get a great 3D effect). I am not an expert on these things, but the quality seems quite good to me. One gripe is that they are not in chronological order, and I feel that is an important thing to do, but the main thing is the cartoons are there.

Love the classic cartoons

I gave this to my daughter for Christmas because when she was younger she loved Betty Boop and we watched the cartoons, it brought back a lot of memories

This item arrived in a very fast manner, way quicker than I anticipated. The packaging protected the item and it arrived in perfect shape. It came with an added bonus a free key chain as well. Kinda a bonus right?

Looks great and great service.

Just a short note this is an excellent set it also came with a quality key chain that I have not seen before. The cartoons are exceptional transfer and the sound is great (no complaints). This set has quit a few of the cartoons that I have not seen before and I own about 10 sets of different dvd's of Betty for the money and quality this set is top notch.

Kleine Ergänzung zur Artikelbeschreibung von Amazon:Mir wurde eine DVD-R mit einem abweichenden Cover - Marke selbstgedruckt - geliefert.Als Laufzeit wurden 130min. angegeben. Am Ende waren es 103min, also rund eine halbe Stunde mehr als oben annonciert.Warum (trotzdem) vier Sterne?Weil das Bild und der Ton ordentlich sind, und die Titelheldin länger zu betrachten ist.Wenn man die Betty Boop-Cartoons aus den 1930er zum ersten Mal kennenlernen will, ist diese Ausgabe m.E. empfehlenswert.
