Betty Boop for President

1932

Betty Boop for President is a 1932 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.[1] It was released by Paramount Pictures on November 4, 1932, four days before that year's presidential election day.

Betty runs for the office of President against Mr. Nobody. Both candidates state their platform through song and dance.

In answer to various problems and political issues, Mr. Nobody consistently promises that "nobody" will solve the problem:

Betty's promises for improvements are shown, including door to door trolley stops, improved conditions for keeping the streets clean, and even a giant umbrella to protect the whole city from rain. Betty also promises to tame a split and incorrigible Congress made up of donkey Democrats and elephant Republicans, and offers a simple solution for prison reform: she will transform each hardened criminal into a limp-wristed sissy.

Betty's campaign promises win the crowd over, and she is voted into the White House by a landslide. A large parade is held in the new President's honor, as she thanks one and all. The film ends with a static shot of a glass of beer, possibly indicating that Betty will also end prohibition.

There was a compilation film called Hurray for Betty Boop in 1980, based on this short.[2] Record producer Dan Dalton took scenes from over 30 Korean-colored Betty Boop cartoons and wrote a connecting narrative to make this feature. Dalton claimed "it was difficult to keep the continuity" to Fleischer authority Michael Dobbs. Dalton explicitly asserted in 1982 that New Line Cinema's lack of promotion was from the film's failure to receive a theatrical release.[citation needed ] It only made its home video release by Warner Home Video in 1984 before it was stored away in obscurity resulting its overwhelmed negative reception. Despite this, Dalton uploaded the abandoned compilation film on social media in March 2016.[citation needed ]
