Bimbo's Initiation - Flescher Studios Betty Boop Cartoon

[duckman531]

I seem to remember other versions of this cartoon where the secret organization seemed to be the KKK.  Am I wrong???

[theirishhateyou]

That was so strange.

Looks like Mickey Mouse is trying to get rid of his competition. I wouldn't blame him, though.

Was that the NCAAP?  LMAO

This is such an amazing cartoon! It's so surreal that Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte must have loved it.

In "Twilight Zone the Movie," from the "It's a Good Life" segment, this is the nightmare cartoon that Sara, Anthony's mouthless sister, is watching while mayhem slowly ensues. Sara, by the way, is played by Runaways singer, Cherie Currie.

Why did mickey mouse lock him in?

[Darcktica]

@c0nn0r1f when the video start, seems like the suicide mouse, so when bimbo falls mickey mouse locked this meaning that video of "suicidemouse.avi" could not be show to the world... something strange to explain, like de candells in the head of his monsters, is the light of the illuminatis members... you wanna be a member?? greetings...

[fyphfoko]

@Darcktica yeah, i thought the start of this and suicide mouse looked remarkably similar, which makes the micky reference all the more serial :D

[Acecombatgamer]

[pokemanmaster03]

@Acecombatgamer He's a dog.

[AmericanVideoGames]

Crazy that this was 1931, the animation and ideas are really good.

[KorparnasTid]

@AmericanVideoGames good animation and ideas used to be givens for cartoons.

[Shadowulf1]

[pokemanmaster03]

@Shadowulf1 Rule of funny. It also makes for a great, unpredictable ending.

[daregularperson]

@pokemanmaster03 A troper! Good to see you on the Youtubes, sir!

[Shadowulf1]

[canihaveyour78s]

MUCH more entertaining than the whimsey of DISNEY.....

Absolutely wonderful - Max Fleischer was a genius that was forgotten for many years. Seeing his work now shows us just how far ahead of contemporary animators his studio was. Bravo and thanks for posting.
