The Other Betty Boop Cartoons, Volume 1 Blu-ray – and a Sneak Peek of Two Lost Cartoons
It’s really fun to see a Betty Boop you’ve never seen before, and today you’ll see clips from two.

Kinex “Hindu Magic” (1929)
The Kinex shorts were clearly meant to be fun little entertainment distractions for the home screen – and they really work well as that.
Tom & Jerry in “Hook and Ladder Hokum” (1932)
A notable thing about this cartoon is the director credit going to the team of George Stallings and Tish Tash. The latter is, of course, Frank Tashlin.

This week I’m showing a nearly perfect Scrappy cartoon. But more importantly, I managed to get Aesop’s Fables Volume 1 off to replication!
Aesop Fables: “Land O’ Cotton” (1929)
Scanned from a reversal print made from a rare Kodascope 16mm print from the 30s, just as it was becoming unprojectable.
“Everybody Sing” (1937) and Sparks’ “Mickey Mouse” (1982)

Willie Whopper in “The Good Scout” (1934)
Let’s take a break and watch a Willie Whopper!
Thunderbean Survey, News and “Pots and Pans” (1932) in HD!
