Toon Legends: Betty Boop in Minnie The Moocher (1932)

 Max Fleischer's Talkartoons series often mixed live action with animation. Case in point is this Betty Boop offering, 1932's "Minnie The Moocher", based on the Cab Calloway song of the same name.

Cab appears at the start, and voices what appears to be a ghostly walrus, as the title song takes up half the film.

Betty (Mae Questel) runs away from home with her boyfriend, Bimbo, but then......


Oh, I could've saved this for Halloween or a Friday the 13th if I'd known about the spookier elements.

Rating: B.
