A Cartoon Worth Respecting instead of Enjoying
Betty Boop to this day remains one of the most cherished cartoon characters of the 20th century, if not of all time. If it weren't for her spunk personality, charming physique and surreal tone, who knows what non-Disney animation would have been like back then. However, when it comes to her first ever appearance, that being the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, it's far from anything great.
Now the cartoon does credit Grim Natwick as the lead animator, and rightfully so as he actually created Betty Boom herself, or at least this can be deemed a prototype. As she was modeled after Helen Kane and Esther Jones, Natwick really knew how to bring this lustrous femme to life through broad animation and bizarre proportions. Even though Max Fleischer took credit, it's always a bonus to give praise to the true man who crafted the og version of Betty that led her to stardom. Also, as this cartoon was made in the early 1930s, it is very fun to see the days where almost every cartoon embraced the surrealistic attributes of visual comedy.
Sadly, that's where my positives end. Although most of the negatives I have for this cartoon are more based off the severe limitations of silent filmmaking back then, they still need to be addressed. For one thing, the sound quality is so bad that it's near impossible to comprehend what the others are saying (even Betty's own song for goodness sake). Plus, the animation is inconsistent and jerky, the jokes don't really hit that well, and even the bouncy feel of cartoon animation back then isn't as thrilling as it sounds here.
And then there's the actual storyline itself. The main character, who would later become Betty's sidekick Bimbo, is a waiter who needs to prepare a roast duck for a hungry customer. However, he gets caught up in the dancing fun to the point where the customer gets aggressively uptight at him. Maybe I'm thinking too much about this, but that customer has every right to be angry at that dog. How much free time can one dog have before it bites him in the butt? Regardless, while I do admire this cartoon for being Betty's first unofficial appearance, I can't get into it because of how little it entertains me.
