Review of Mask-A-Raid

Mask-A-Raid (1931)
10/10
Mask-A-Raid is another bizarre early Betty Boop cartoon that comes highly recommended
2 November 2008
Just discovered this early Betty Boop cartoon on YouTube courtesy of one of various cartoon blogs I've been looking up on. The author of this particular blog thinks the singing voice and mannerisms of Bimbo near the end sound a lot like Louis Prima and I have to heartily agree. This short being made pre-Code, there are lots of stuff that it wouldn't get away with after 1934 like Boop's skirt going up revealing her panty and someone helping skirt stay down with the help of a bobby pin. Lots of bizarre things involving some vintage songs happen that are hard to describe so all I can say is Mask-A-Raid is highly recommended for any fan of Max Fleischer especially during this period.
