Hurray for Betty Boop

About This Movie

Hurray for Betty Boop is an interesting piece, a 1980 animated feature that feels more like a collection of Fleischer shorts than a coherent narrative. The premise of Betty running for president is whimsical, but the execution has a loose quality. It’s fascinating how they took classic animation and had Korean animators redraw it, which definitely gives it a unique twist. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw off some viewers used to tighter stories. You'll find the music lively, capturing that old-school charm, while the humor is very much in line with Betty's flirty, mischievous spirit. It's a curious watch for those who appreciate animation history and the evolution of characters like Betty.
