Morning, Noon and Night

About This Movie

So, 'Morning, Noon and Night' is this quirky piece from '33 that really shows the early animation vibe. You’ve got Betty Boop, of course, who’s always a treat, and she’s trying to rescue this baby bird from the clutches of the Tom Kats Club—these raucous, booze-loving cats. The atmosphere is a mix of whimsy and a hint of danger, which is interesting. The artwork is playful, characteristic of the era, and the timing of the gags feels just right. The music by Rubinoff adds a lively touch, blending well with the visuals. It’s a bit of a time capsule really, showcasing the cultural attitudes of the day, and it’s not just another Betty Boop short; there’s something uniquely engaging about its storytelling.

'Morning, Noon and Night' is one of those rarities that might not pop up on every collector's radar, but it holds a certain charm. It's a bit scarce, especially in good condition, which adds to its allure. Various formats exist, but original reels are particularly hard to come by. Collectors appreciate how it encapsulates the early 30s animation scene, giving insights into the era's social dynamics and entertainment styles.
