Betty in one of her more provocative performaces from 1932. She does a hula dance for Bimbo. Includes an introductory performance by The Royal Samoans.
Yes, this cartoon is hisorically interesting. The "Hays Code" which prohibited nudity and "suggestive dancing" was passed in 1930, but not enforced until 1934. This cartoon was made in 1932. One might consider that the Fleischers were deliberately flouting the unenforced code here.
For a woman of the 1930s BETTY BOOP is very risque . BETTY BOOP is wearing a lei & her lei covers most of her feminine features. If BETTY BOOP was compared with female celebrities like Madonna , Britney Spears & Miley Cyrus BETTY BOOP would be very tame.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
in Betty Boop at least they had poc singing and being shown at the start of shows of which is highly tolerant considering the racism in the 30's which is upsetting
That was practically pornographic for the 30's, but it's a product of it's times. There are going to be thos who will look back on the early "00" and say "what were they thinking?"
