ABOUT BETTY BOOP AND FLEISCHER STUDIOS
Betty Boop was originally conceived by Max Fleischer for his “Talkartoons” series, the world’s first animated “talkies” that Fleischer Studios produced for Paramount Studios. In the 1930 cartoon “Dizzy Dishes,” the first installment of the series, Betty’s unnamed early character appeared as a dog-like stage performer who sang and danced alongside another dog-like character called Bimbo, delighting large crowds of other Fleischer animal characters.
Drawing from the collective energy, style, and sound of the many popular Jazz Age flappers and entertainers of the 1920s, Betty rapidly evolved into a fully human character, becoming the only female animated screen star worldwide. Voiced by Mae Questel, Betty appeared in over 100 cartoons, 90 of which are part of the official Betty Boop series, which concluded in 1939. Since then, Betty has featured in dozens of hit movies, TV specials, and commercials, and was the first cartoon character profiled by A&E’s Biography series.
Today, Fleischer Studios, together with their team of creative professionals and worldwide licensing agency, Global Icons (globalicons.com), continue to transform the iconic Betty Boop into a global licensing and entertainment sensation, bringing joy to millions of fans and collectors.
