We Did It

About This Movie

So, 'We Did It' is one of those short animations that captures that whimsical chaos we often see in early cartoons. It revolves around Betty Boop’s kittens wreaking havoc while she's away, and there's this naive charm to the characters that just feels genuine. Pudgy the pup, as the license to mischief, adds a layer of innocence amidst the kitten chaos. The pacing is brisk, typical of the time, but it gives enough room for the visual gags to land. Animation-wise, those hand-drawn techniques really pop in their simplicity and expressiveness. The overall atmosphere is playful, with a hint of that cheeky humor you'd expect from the era. It’s a delightful slice of vintage animation that shows how far the genre has come.

'We Did It' is part of that early animation movement that collectors often seek, especially those focusing on Betty Boop. The film has seen a few releases, primarily on VHS and DVD compilations, but finding it in good condition can be a challenge. Its scarcity only adds to its allure, making it a nice piece for anyone interested in the evolution of animated shorts. There's a certain charm in owning a film like this, which reflects the playful spirit of the 1930s animation era.
