Thanks to everyone who subscribed, sadly the channel is defunct.
Work’s Been Kinda Slow, But I Still Got It:
So it probably in your best interest to unsub?
However, the channel will endure for as long as possible, just like everything else.
I put a lot of work into fan pages, but truth be told they won’t be around forever. Nothing lasts forever, thus the reason I decided to archive everything here. I will not be posting fandom content indefinitely.
A lot of people wonder why I don’t align my text to the left? Well I personally think that text centered looks better. It is my unique way of doing it. Nobody else does it.
Fans should utilize Betty Boop’s official webpages, as I have advised for years. Almost all the current information you want is available there. But I will ensure to post more accurate information. It appears that the Fleischers descendants are not very knowledgeable with the original Betty Boop.
Please be aware that although Richard Fleischer was the closest connection to Max and Dave, and even he passed away in 2006. But he did however leave behind his “Out of the Inkwell” book.
Gordon Mike Dobbs a Fleischer historian, he filled in the blanks of what the Fleischers did to Grim Natwick. Natwick created the base for Betty Boop. Max Fleischer promised to give the character back to Natwick as a gift.
This however never happened. The Fleischers shunned Natwick many years later when he wanted to try and obtain the rights to Betty. Max was sick at the time, and would not speak to Natwick. So in his place Richard Fleischer did. He told Natwick to never speak to the family again. Natwick felt they had treated him badly so he sued them and lost, he never had anything in writing that he created the character. While creating Betty, he was working for the Fleischers.
The Fleischers developed that character.
Turns out over the years, the Fleischers had lost the copyright to Betty Boop. From there it was a never ending third-party battle to who owned the rights. King Features and Harvey Comics were in various lawsuits.
King Features fought tooth and nail against the Fleischers. The company did bring Betty back to life thanks to Ted Hannah, but other than that? It was mainly merchandising. A little animation here and there, and they often handled the negotiations for Betty Boop collaborations.
KO-KO had been in the public domain for decades. His cartoons, they have no copyright protection. Zavier Leslie Cabarga spoke to a King Features lawyer many years ago, and that lawyer said that the Fleischers can go to hell. Next minute you know, the Fleischers were eventually able to re-obtain the full copyright to the Betty Boop character. This is a lot like the “Friday the 13th” case, when Victor Miller established his ownership alone. The Fleischers demonstrated their ownership of Betty Boop.
Believe it or not, you can re-obtain the copyright to any franchise you own within a certain time period.
I noticed that to promote the character to a younger audience, many of Betty’s origins, history, and look have been altered. Therefore, the majority of the material posted on the official Fleischer Studios or Betty Boop websites might not be entirely true and might not accurately depict Betty Boop’s original background.
So it is more or less altered to suit them. The Fleischers descendants, well listen to this. They didn’t even know that Betty originally was a redhead. So what does that tell you?
Betty’s face was substantially altered when King Features took control of her many years ago. Nobody noticed, but her nose had more of an oval button shape, that more closely aligned with her Jewish heritage. What did King Features Syndicate do? They gave Betty Boop a nose job. Snipped her whole nose off.
The red hair never returned because black hair complements Betty’s looks, but they also changed her eye color from blue to a light green. Think we didn’t notice? Though weirdly in 2012, Lancôme briefly reverted that.
“A note to the haters: I promise never to alter my blogging style for anyone.”
They All Want to Silence Me:
I am not a self-saboteur when it comes to blogging, I just generally don’t like people trying to watch over me or try to control me. If people cannot accept that. Please go away. Why are you following me around? It makes no sense. I said what I said, and stand by what I said.
I can’t say too much, but there’s one website I frequently use, and the statistics are really great. Only I’m not allowed to share them. After what the Fleischers and King Features did to my IG by making it invisible. It still didn’t stop me from blogging.
So here’s the tea. They are telling me by doing that. That I am not allowed to be a fan. Why? Just because I expose too much. By properly revealing rare information? That nobody knows?
Before I even looked into some stories. People were not aware of anything. They knew nothing. And the stuff they generally knew it was incorrect. And still is. Some people don’t even know to this day about some things. And they just change it to suit themselves. But me? No I say it like it is. I do not sugar coat.
People want “one narrative” and I don’t stick to that. I say what I want, when I want.
So here’s the story. I would go into archives and dig out rare Betty Boop photos. I didn’t know that the Fleischer descendants would be pinning my profile, and watching my every move. My page was pinged several times by different people all linked to the Fleischers. And I thought it was very suspicious.
Cab Calloway’s descendant, and some other people who I ignored. I ignored because I am fed up with people trying to stalk me. That’s all they do. So I don’t trust anyone. ‘Cause they only want private and personal information, nothing more and nothing less. I will never speak to strangers.
Like that last person I trusted, and the others. They all turned on me.
For what reason? Difference of opinion. Furthermore, I believe it is due to trolls and how do they agitate a situation. However, it is your fault if you give in to trolls. If you listen to strangers who are anonymous, you just have yourselves to blame. I mean who is going to listen to the words of an anon? Someone you don’t know?
I automatically block and do not respond to anonymous people. All you have to do is check their profile creation date.
You’d have to be “insane” to listen to a “creepy stranger” who randomly messages you. They can tell you practically anything, it doesn’t make it true. They are sick individuals, people like that. And they do not exist to me.
You can look at me from a distance but you cannot touch. And I will never reach out to anyone that I do not know. So I will talk about you, if I have to. But I will never contact anyone I do not know.
Once more, what I enjoy. These folks like imitating. I do not mind. Feel free.
However, the sole purpose for them differs to me, and that is to generate revenue through sales. That is not what I do. Sincere fans don’t act like that, and I am one. They seem to do it on purpose would attempt to halt me from pursuing my interests. Of course they own the rights of the character.
But don’t use me as inspiration. Do your own thing. I cover everything “Boop” not just Betty Boop.
I like “Boop-Boop-Be-Doop” stuff. It’s more than just Betty Boop, it’s a music genre.
Yes, I do block anyone who I believe are attempting to sabotage. I’m trying to run my own fan page, and taking over and stealing my content from my page. Makes my page not so special. Because it took a lot of time and effort to obtain these photos or documents. I do the work, someone comes along and swipes it.
Certain individuals, they are only “doing something similar” to something I originated. I have done many things outside “Boopdom” and I noticed that I have created or originated things that others have “openly” coined. I have inspired many other “bloggers” and “vloggers” to emulate me. They think it bothers me when they steal, it does not. I know I am the originator. And what they’ve created or done is more or less a carbon-copy of something I have already done.
The only reason as to why some of these individuals are more successful is because they have bigger platforms than me. I don’t really have a platform.
And guess what these “individuals” taking what I post and they do not even credit me? Or indirectly “dissing” me!? Well two can play that game. I mean even the “Cartoon Brew” acknowledged me as SUPER-BOOP. I must be doing something right? Right?
“That being said, I never was great at writing. I more of a critic or ranter, I rant.”
Also people who envy. I don’t know you, nor will I ever. What you do, does not affect. I do me. It is rather blasé to try to silence someone because they hold different beliefs or perspectives.
Fleischer Studios Are Thieves?:
The Fleischers should worry more about a book that “someone” requested to be written about them. That book written by a group of racists more or less refers to the Fleischer Studios family as thieves. I’ve defended their family enough. So I have nothing more to say. I know that Max Fleischer won that lawsuit, so there’s no debating that. The person who sued, she was money hungry and often in debt.
It is all right suing if you feel someone has coined you. But if you steal a gimmick from your comrade “Peggy Bernier” (also discovered by Paul Ash) the girl with the baby voice, then sue the creators of Betty Boop for having Betty sing in a baby voice. What does that say about you? That says you are untrustworthy.
Max Fleischer and Paramount Pictures won fair and square with the evidence given. If people want to debunk that, and defame the Fleischer family that is on them. But if they do sue you in the long run, that’s on you. Don’t come crying to me. The Fleischers do have money. Keep that in mind. If they feel defamed, obviously a lawsuit will possibly follow up. At the moment they are probably unaware.
But that’s their problem. It does not affect me. It’s their name being defamed. Not mine. Personally I don’t care what anyone else is writing or doing. It doesn’t affect me. It won’t change my opinion of events. No matter how many books someone writes. I know that the books were only written to debunk the Fleischer family as liars. But everyone doesn’t care about that, and they know the Fleischers won that lawsuit.
True Betty Boop Fans:
Rewriting history, people can do it. Especially when they use “their own books” as sources. But if “real historians” come along, they’ll be able to see through the lies. As I mentioned, it has no bearing on me. I am aware that the person lost as she could not provide any proof for her statements. The inspiration for “Clara Bow” was established. And for that reason, Betty Boop was initially redheaded, much like Bow.
If you want to keep up with “Betty Boop the Musical” you can on this website here. I will be archiving mostly everything that happens between Chicago Off-Broadway and the New York Broadway debut.
Everyone has their own “Boop” journey. Mine is to keep updated with the musical and see what happens next. Rumor has it, that in the long run it could possibly win a Tony Award.
You think Trisha portrayed by Angelica Hale is the original Betty Boop super-fan? No she’s fictional.
But me? I’m the “original” fan. Before I started any fandom, nobody really knew Betty. Now they know practically everything about her. Thanks to me. There’s a lot of misunderstanding of Betty, and people do not understand her origin or creation.
Though Betty Boop is a sex-symbol that was created by men…
Betty Boop is also an entertainer, she was originally a cabaret singer and later a vaudeville star. So when they wrote a story for Betty for the Broadway show, claiming she never had a story. It was quite confusing. Because the original Betty was a stage star, vaudeville is practically the equivalent to Broadway.
But I like how they handled creating a brand new story for her.
Especially the sly “WFRR” reference where she never went to color? But in this new show, her world turns to color.
If anyone wants to read a more accurate book for hardcore fans. Read Peter Benjaminson’s, it is really good. He looked into the story, and he just put two and two together. And I think he’s the only person who can see “Betty” for what she is. Perfect gift for 2024.
I have my own Boop fandom. If you’ve noticed, I actually prefer the music more than anything else. You know the “Boop-Boop-Be-Doop” was a jazz-baby thing, it was a 1920s to early 1930s musical genre.
That’s what I like about it. Betty Boop did not originate it. But she represents it, still to this day. She’s the face of it. There’s no one living today, that can say they are the Queen of “Boop-Boop-Be-Doop” apart from cartoon character Betty Boop.
Betty is also an indirect product of Harlem.
Betty Boop’s Voice:
I know they have Betty Boop sound-a-likes and impersonators. But they are actresses who portray Betty, they are not really Betty Boop. The only person close to being Betty was Mae Questel. And Jasmine Rogers, in a more updated 2023 version, I suppose, somewhat kind of mimics it.
I wouldn’t say Rogers is Betty Boop, she portrays her nicely. But only on stage. In real life, there are rumors that she is going to be the next big star. Being Betty for her will be very short-lived. As said, there are several understudies just waiting for her to “be sick” or “not turn up” one day, so they can take her place.
Just like the “SpongeBob SquarePants” Broadway show it’ll have to end eventually.
Can you imagine if the “white woman” with the blonde hair took over the role or the Mexican woman? And imagine if they got more applauds? Merely for being white or non-Black? Hopefully Rogers does the entire run for Boop! not just for her sake, everyone’s sake. She originated that role.
It would be difficult to watch her go. Since I find her representation to be really appealing. Especially when she sings with a deeper, more feminine voice in opposed to singing in that baby-voice.
Instead Betty has two voices. She speaks in baby-talk and sings like Whitney Houston.
If Mae Questel didn’t die, then yes, it would be an issue. But since then they had Karen Fox do the role. And she doesn’t sound like the original Betty. Very nasally, Karen sounds like she’s playing a flute on her nose when she talks as Betty. So who cares who takes on Betty’s role. Because Betty lost her original voice in 1938, and she only returned once in 1988. From 1984 to 1989 they had other women lined up for the role.
Desirée Goyette, Mary Healey and Melissa Fahn.
Healey’s story is not very well known. I only recently obtained a new transcript that taught me of her work. As people are aware, she was the original voice for “WFRR” but at last minute they deleted her dialogue and replaced her vocals with the original voice of Betty Boop.
Since then Betty’s voice has been forever changing. It reminds you of “The Muppets” where they just don’t sound like the original characters. So it is more or less carbon-copies.
But Jasmine Rogers, she bring something new.
Boop! has been the highlight of my year. I really like seeing it. I’m not jealous or envious of anyone who gets to voice or portray Betty. I am not Betty, I am merely a fan. So anyone who thinks that. Yes, you Karen (or any other Karen). I honestly don’t feel that way.
Speaking of Sandy Fox:
I love going in on Fox… It is fun… Funny too…
🔥 🔥 🔥
“This is one of my blog gags, 30% is gossip and 70% is roasting. Every time I post about this, I am 50% serious and 50% gagging with laughter. So it is 50/50. I am a tiny bit shocked, but at the same time making fun of the situation.”
🔥 🔥 🔥
Speaking of Sandy “Karen” Fox, I heard that she’s pretending to support the new Broadway musical. She doesn’t like Black girls or Black women, so I am quite surprised. Maybe Betty being a lighter-skinned Black woman has more to do with it? You see Fox has a problem with darker-skinned Black people.
Funny how people like Fox try to “gatekeep” a franchise to keep Black people out, next minute you know “people like her” are faux-supporting Black people. Like said, without Betty, that woman Fox feels she’s not relevant. That’s all she has. So it looks like she’ll use anything to her advantage.
But that is part of Fox’s narcissistic personality disorder… She’s a narcissist and she is “EVERYTHING” narcissism.
Do you see Cindy Robinson the other “Official Voice of Betty Boop” doing that? No… She doesn’t even cause any kind of drama. She says nothing. She offends nobody.
I’ve never seen Robinson attack anyone. If you are saying things in interviews. Wouldn’t you be more careful? Obviously someone may come across what you say. And Fox she just didn’t care at one point. So she was basically saying that Black people were not allowed to like Betty Boop. She listed all other countries in the world apart from Black people, that could like Betty. It was outrageously weird…
I called it out, and this big obese Black man. He shielded her. It is like someone was aware of what I was calling out. So I linked the video. Next minute I know, the video of Sandy Fox being indirectly racist…
It was deleted…
You should have seen her face. Now we only have the audio. If only I had grabbed that video. People could have seen it. And seen her face reaction to Black girls and Black women liking Betty Boop. She was so offended in that video. I was like shocked. I was like, does Black people being fans upset Fox?
I put two and two together, and realized that Fox ran a “Helen Kane” fan page on Facebook. And I then understood as to why she had a problem or issue.
“Truth be told. I have been a mean spirited blogger sometimes and I can be very abrasive. I openly say things. But like I said, I will NEVER change how I blog for anyone. I am entitled to my own opinions. If it offends anyone. That’s just the way it has to be. I don’t care.”
But if I haven’t done anything to said person? Why come after me? I don’t understand it. Obviously I am going to come back at you. I am going to roast and gag you in return.
It is because I stick to the true story, and the true narrative. I don’t lie or sugar coat anything. People don’t like when you tell the truth. The truth often upsets and angers people. Doesn’t matter where you go, you can meet new people. It is ALL the same. They hate the truth. It is mainly because these kind of people they like living a lie.
“Remember the old saying? A lie is more entertaining than the truth.”
I could have been a sell-out Booper, and lied. I had my chance to be ANTI-Betty Boop. I was offered. I declined. I was offered to be part of a book that exposed the Fleischer Studios many years ago.
A group of “racist(s)” were working on book to expose the Fleischers. I was the original person helping “said person” many years back with the research. I found out it was “ANTI-BETTY BOOP” and I had to disconnect myself from said person. Person lied, and claimed to have been dying of cancer.
Many years later turns out the person lied. Individual “found out my identity” and me promoting Betty Boop and said person formed a group on Facebook, and with a group of people and a Hollywood D-lister got a “historian” to write a book to defame the Fleischers.
And all the book talked about was that “Betty Boop” is not Black, and denounced her Harlem origin. Next minute you know, Betty Boop is “OFFICIALLY” a Black woman on Broadway.
The Fleischers they did notice and began to threaten legal action.
And I was thinking at the time. It ain’t got nothing to do with me. You can’t control other “people” online and their anger outbursts. What can we do about those angry people? Nothing. I can’t control how people feel. If Betty Boop is Black to some people, can we force them to change their minds? No we can’t.
They are still saying it to this day.
Also I like to be outspoken myself… So… Yeah… I don’t agree with that. You don’t sue people for silly little things like that. Obviously it would get thrown out in court. Unless you PAY OFF the Judge…
According to that book that was written about the Fleischers by those individuals, they claim that the Fleischers are notorious for “paying off” Judges.
Did people really not think that people would look in old newspapers and uncover that the Fleischers used an old soundtrack of a Black person to defend their franchise? And not think that the newspapers would not archive it? Or that nobody would look into it?
Well they did.
So that racist group on Facebook, they wanted “Helen Kane” to be Betty Boop. But the Fleischers, they don’t like Helen Kane, they don’t want her to be associated with Betty Boop or Esther Jones.
So when they prompted that so-called historian to write that book. He claimed he wrote it on behalf of the Fleischers.
So they were being racist to me, claiming I was Asian. I never said I was Asian… I did use Asian nicknames. But I certainly am not Asian. Never was. These people they don’t know me. I never introduced myself to them. I only spoke to one person in that Facebook group, and she basically “doxxed all of my personal information” from my old “original” email address. I know!? Silly me. Trusting people.
The only reason these people were getting angry. Is because over the years I was being indirectly mentioned in digital newspaper articles. And because I was getting some exposure, it upset these people. To know that it was me, the person who was originally helping said person on a history book.
Just because I didn’t follow a narrative to attack the Fleischers. I have time to drag Karens, but the Fleischers who’ve not done anything to me? No. What can they do to me? NOTHING! That’s what. And they haven’t done anything to me. Apart from try to emulate what I like.
You know? Pretend to be fans of your family lineage. When many years prior, they didn’t care about Betty Boop or what Betty Boop was doing in media. Suddenly because “I” was doing it. Now they are.
It is called lacking a sense of self, when you copy someone. You admire what that person is doing but at the same time you are envious. And most of the time people in this world. They want to be better than you and take over. So what you do, they want to do too.
And thus they created fan websites, one called “All-Stars” noting that I did it many years prior. You know to combat me? My fandom. So they want their fandom to be more prominent. So I fade into obscurity. And because they own the characters, they can actually do that.
Prior to all these, they never existed. If it wasn’t for me, they’d have never existed. Because prior to me making fan pages, they never had a website. Nor did they exist solely.
Maybe I wasted all my time promoting stuff that I shouldn’t have. I could have focused on my own content, and I should have many years before any of this. You’ll notice how little control you have when you don’t really own a franchise. Even though they own it, they did notice that people who “pretend to be fans” of Betty Boop had forced them in the end to make her into a Black character.
People only got mad at me, because I looked into the Baby Esther Jones story and I was the FIRST person to bring it to life as of the late 2010s. Nobody else knew who she was. They couldn’t even IDENTIFY her.
My vast research identified her. And of course some people came along and re-wrote the story to their liking. But it was me. And the only reason as to why some people (racists) are bitter. Is because they are JEALOUS that I followed the original narrative and that I uncovered a lot more and how SHUFFLE ALONG was the true origin.
If Baby Esther wasn’t original? Then that means Florence Mills and Gertrude Saunders was.
That had nothing to do with me. All I ever did was point to Harlem and where scatting originated. That’s all. Going by the Fleischer narrative, I ended up with a lot of enemies. Who I don’t acknowledge.
Suddenly some of these people are doing a U-TURN. Sandy Fox clearly was being RACIST. So how on Earth has she suddenly changed her perspective? After how she was acting? I’m sure she is being fake.
Sandy Fox with her Yabba-Dabba “Fred Flintstone” head.
One minute: “NO BLACKS ALLOWED” the next “I LOVE BOOP!” and support Black Betty Boop.
Err… Sandy Fox… Didn’t you forget what you said about Black girls and Black women? You TRIED to make Betty Boop only white-exclusive? Huh!??? Some people must be going senile…
Anyone who messages me today. I don’t take it seriously. I just look and roll my eyes from a distance. Wondering, what said individual could possibly want with me?
Then some people from Cartoon Brew or Cartoon Research, they’ve been nice to me though. But my fandom is more or less solo-dolo. So I can’t go to people and ask. That’s not my way of blogging or writing. That being said I am not always correct, sometimes I do make mistakes.
That’s just human nature…
I am more or a gossip blogger than anything. So I like to gossip. That isn’t generally accepted in society. Because I like to bitch a lot. I think me being a bitchy blogger. I think that did me no justice in the long run. People look down on people who have strong opinions. I used to “make fun” of a lot of people.
So people thought that I was a “mean” person. Not understanding that most of the time I was joking around. I didn’t know anyone would ever take me seriously.
We now live in a sensitive society, but I still won’t have sensitive types tell me what to do. Joking is funny. But when you start being racist, it is a different story. I don’t even go to that length.
Anyway that Fox apparently had something to do with that group.
I don’t know what part she played, but I am aware that they were saying things that were “lies” and the people who ran that group. They are known racists. Sadly the person who wrote the book on their behalf, is a racist too. So when I reference racist groups.
I am only talking about one in particular.
And it is, because these are “white” people getting angry over nothing. Nobody cares about who the real Betty Boop was, because she doesn’t really exist. She’s a fictional character. If I had to say, I’d say Mae Questel was the original Betty Boop. It was Questel. Nobody else.
Who was the “official voice” and “model” but Questel? She modeled for the rotoscoping too for the animated sequences.
Just because you do Betty Boop imitations or have portrayed Betty at a theme park. Doesn’t make you the original Betty Boop. You are a mimic, a character impersonator.
Like Cindy Robinson said, you can’t really make a name out of voice-matching. And that Mae Questel had portrayed Betty “beautifully” in the original cartoons. She stated that Betty has already been cast and her voice has been originated.
Cindy Robinson:
“I did Betty Boop for a long time, because I naturally sound like Mae Questel. And also, the thing about Betty was she wasn’t always dialogue driven, she was a one liner character. And again, I already sounded like Betty Boop! I don’t like to voice-match! Betty’s been done, she’s been cast. And you’re never ever gonna make your name, being someone’s second. Unless you are amazing at it. Which I am not. Why try to emulate, something that’s already been done beautifully?”
Anyway back to Fox…
(This image is funny isn’t it? I laugh every time I see it. Look behind Sandy Fox. It’s not her long chin or face being distorted by the retro TV video effects. What is behind her? That is what is funny!)
I guess if it looks like Sandy Fox is being “supportive” of the cast and crew of the Broadway show. It is likely to give her some exposure. Trust me, the Fleischer Studios and King Features Syndicate are aware of Fox’s past racist shenanigans. And as said before, they have enabled it. So they don’t really care about Black people.
Hiring a Black Betty Boop as said many times, it was a very smart move for those involved. As said, the show was already going to be bombarded with hate. The Black community wanted a Black Betty Boop by force. So they were going to hate on the show if Betty was not Black.
Me? I would never do that. That is so evil… Who cares what ethnicity Betty is? As long as the actress can sing right?
Even after Fox was being openly and indirectly racist with her husband and those groups of racist people. Now you see Fox has suddenly changed her opinion. But people never forget, well I’ll never forget what she said. And I’ll always be sure to remind people so they are wary.
Wasn’t she getting angry many years ago because people were talking about Baby Esther?
Now suddenly it is a complete different story. She sees that Betty Boop is Black and is suddenly bowing down. It is quite weird to say the least. You’d think someone like Fox who acted all racist wouldn’t be doing that.
But it doesn’t change the fact that behind her “mask” that Fox is pretending to “rally” for the Broadway show. She knows, that if she does. She may get invited to the show. And she can then “pretend” to the cast and crew that she is a supporter. Because people are so blind, they often fall for it.
Face reality, people don’t really care about people being indirectly racist. Some people get away with it.
It is more or less “trying to keep her job” and hoping that they don’t officially turn Betty Boop the animated version into a Black woman. That’s all Fox cares about. She just wants to hold onto the voice role. They are not going to turn the animated version Black. So she doesn’t have to worry…
You can put on a nice persona, and fool people into thinking you are sweet. But for Fox to run a racist group on Facebook, against Black people supporting Betty Boop. That is just not right. It is hard to process, when she’s pretending to support the Broadway show. She’s a racist right? Isn’t she? I’m pretty sure she is.
And especially her husband Lex Lang, he’s the worst of the worst. They are the “double-trouble” duo.
Maybe she thinks people are not aware? Maybe one day she’ll slip up and show her true-self.
If not Fox is obviously just “ignorant” and mean but that being said she is known for gatekeeping. I guess people look at her appearance, ’cause Fox is obese. And they think she is “jolly” automatically. Forgetting that she was originally the cheerleader-type. An Orlando Magic’s dance squad girl.
You know cheerleaders? And cheerleaders are known to be mean girls. I know that Fox thought she was “hot” in her mind when she was younger. Just because she was skinny back then. And if you watch her dance, you can see it. You just know she thought highly of herself.
But Betty Boop is the character that keeps her name frequent in the industry. But as said, like all other other Betties. One day, she’s going to have to retire.
Whether she likes it or not. One day, she will lose the ability to do these cute-type or in her case “nasally” voices. Voices change. And then they are going to recast the role, as they did many times earlier.
Like that reporter wrote, Fox’s voice is very “helium” in comparison to how Betty originally sounded.
Yes, Betty is not supposed to sound like that… It’s like she’s sucked on a balloon. Though most people today are dumb and don’t notice. She has been given a lot of bad reviews. People have written that Betty’s voice sounds annoying, when voiced by Fox.
Anything she promotes as Betty, I will never buy. And I urge all true fans to also avoid anything she promotes as Betty Boop. Sandy Fox is not a good role model. And we should not support racist individuals. King Features Syndicate and the Fleischer Studios. It is just the money, that’s all that matters. How much money they can make.
To think Fox was against a “Black Betty Boop” many years ago, now suddenly she’s all for it. Something just doesn’t sound right… Maybe she realized that people didn’t care for her biased opinions against Betty being Black? And that if she wants to avoid being called out for her past behavior, she’s just going to go along with it?
Very tricky…
ANYWAY…
I just wanted some new Betty Boop songs to sing to myself, I think I got my wish.
That was the Broadway show which is for true fans of the character. If you’re not a fan, obviously the show is not going to appeal to you. I think it is more of a girly thing.
And it appeals more to women and girls. Betty Boop used to be created by men, for men. But as I said many times before. The newer Betty Boop, she’s more ditzy and girly.
And she’s more or less for women and girls only.
So you have “Classic Betty Boop” and “Modern Betty Boop” and I often use the multiverse to explain their differences.
Boop-Boop-Be-Doop ♥
