Mysterious Mose - Bimbo and Betty Boop

An early Fleischer film from 1930 featuring Bimbo and the character who would soon be called Betty Boop. The Fleischer studio was known for surrealistic animation and this is a great example.
Note how Betty is a human with dog ears in this film. She was gradually changed from a dog to a human over time. Her dog ears would soon become hoop earrings.

@SabraCanadaCrazyTime Oops! - of course - you are correct. I knew the name but apparently I must have been a bit Dizzy when writing my reply.

@DZrache And you'd be right! He is uncredited in this one, but he did do some scenes! Check John K's blog, johnkstuff, or go to ASIFA if you want to know more!
