Wednesday’s “Betty Boop” Dance

(The dance starts at 0:44.)

In The Addams Family spin-off series Wednesday which features Jenna Ortega she has some very unusual dance moves. Fans of the series came “directly” to me with this information and it would seem that Wednesday Addams’ dance moves are similar to Betty Boop’s from the 1932 cartoon The Betty Boop Limited.

The dance moves are pretty much monstrous and give off a 1960s vibe. However Betty Boop did that dance move first and way back in the 1930s, and not to mention that Betty’s dance went viral on social media a few years back. Betty Boop herself as a fictional character promoted the dance.

It is only natural that Tim Burton who is into surreal and the supernatural would “secretly” be influenced by the old Fleischer cartoons by Max and Dave.
