The Fleischers decided to take on Lewis Carroll's literary classic, Alice in Wonderland, by sending Betty Boop (Bonnie Poe) to "Blunderland" in this 1934 short. There was also a feature length version.
The reason we have this to start December is because of some disturbing news that correspondent Steven Dolce shared over the weekend.
Deadline is reporting that some independent filmmakers are going to go with a twisted adaptation of Betty, making her a killer. Is nothing really sacred anymore in Hollywood? In the last few years alone, some of these screwballs have messed with Winnie-The-Pooh, The Banana Splits, and there's been rumors of a Mickey Mouse horror movie based on "Steamboat Willie", which went into public domain a while back.
Do yourselves a favor, guys. Be creative. Come up with your own ideas. Stop messing with everyone else's childhoods.
