	Pelham Puppets Online Bimbo the clown
		Bimbo spent the whole of the 1953 season in Harrod's toy department, standing next to the puppet counter, where he was an outstanding success.
		By operating Bimbo's mouth and eyes, as well as his head and hands, I was able to surprise the unsuspecting public, particularly as the voice really did come out of his mouth.
		When a coin is inserted Bimbo talks and sings to music while moving his mouth and his head as well as his body from side to side.

		It co-stars, as do many Betty Boop cartoons, two other Fleischer characters, an anthropomorphic pup named Bimbo (of course, Betty was a canine herself in her earliest appearances) and the redoubtable Koko the Clown.
		Bimbo has a crystal ball in which we see an ocean liner being tossed and thrown at sea, eventually turned upside down by two waves-as-hands.
		Bimbo and Betty race off as more ghosts swarm out from where the crystal ball was.

	Betty Boop
		Beginning with this cartoon, the character's voice was performed by several different voice actresses until Mae Questel got the role and kept it for the rest of the series in 1931.
		Although the Screen Songs cartoon Betty Coed referred to the character as Betty in 1931, she was not officially christened "Betty Boop" until the 1932 short Stopping the Show that same year.
		The animators struggled to keep Betty's cartoons interesting by pairing her with popular comic strip characters, but none of these films were very successful (though one such pairing did propel Popeye into stardom of his own).

	Digital Noise Reduction: Where'd That Cartoon Go?
		Cartoon Network's Ed, Edd n Eddy recently revised their production process in order to reduce the affects of DVNR.
		DRS is a manual process that requires someone going through the film, frame by frame and detecting the problem areas, whereas DVNR is an automated process where an operator sets an intensity level, and the machine batch processes all of the frames.
		It would be easy to let it pass and wait until a new technlogy comes along but as consumers, animation enthusiasts, artists and executives, we must recognize the situation and work to find a resolution.

		This cartoon is particularly notorious for featuring a couple of the most shocking and gruesome scenes ever seen in a classic cartoon.

	Bimbo (Fleischer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Betty Boop and Bimbo in Minnie the Moocher (1932).
		Bimbo was relegated to a supporting character when his girlfriend Betty Boop became a more popular character.
		He appeared in Fleischer cartoons from 1930 to 1933, when he was eliminated from Betty's series by the Production Code censorship laws, since a dog with a human girlfriend gave implications of bestiality.

	thebirthofbettyboop
		I start with this cartoon because it purports to be a biography of Betty Boop starting in her baby days.
		Bimbo promptly says "YES!!!", and is soon dancing in front of a chorus line of Betty Boops.
		After all, she is the carnal interest of Bimbo, and if she were human their romance would be illegal in most countries, and even too kinky for a Fleischer cartoon.

	Untitled Document
		Betty and Bimbo are terrified, as well they should be, for the Walrus transforms itself into a spectral cat whose kittens suck it dry and into a prison guard who escorts skeletons to the electric chair, among other transmigrations.
		Bimbo, the star of the cartoon, falls for her at once.
		Bimbo, who usually remained a dog, was her romantic interest in some of the cartoons but not in others.

	IGN: Comics in Context #117: To Boop Or Not To Boop
		This cartoon starts with Betty in a safari outfit (characteristically displaying her cleavage), being borne through the jungle by her perennial costars Bimbo and Ko-Ko.
		Bimbo sweats so much in terror that he melts into nothingness (though this does not make him dead in a Fleischer cartoon), leaving Ko-Ko to flee on his own, moving so fast that he runs out of his clown suit, which can't keep up with him.
		The cartoon casts Betty as representative of the feminine principle, distinguishing her from the male politicians who now reign: her Capitol building is decorated with bows.

	The Essential Ghoul's Record Shelf: MYSTERIOUS MOSE \| ted weems and his orchestra
		She was designed by a veteran animator with the evocative name Grim Natwick and modeled after then-popular singer Helen Kane, a Bronx-accented singer with large eyes, a plump face surrounded by short curly hair, and a decided girlish singing voice.
		In “Mysterious Mose,” Boop is menaced by a ghostly shape (Bimbo, actually) that clatters through her house, occasionally taking form to blow a few notes on a tuba or to engage in a fast soft-shoe number.
		It seems likely that the melody was written for the cartoon; two versions of the song were released in April of 1930, one by Bobby Dixon’s Broadcasters and another by Ted Weems and His Orchestra.

	Unravel the Gavel - July 1998
		Betty, who was still nameless at the time, was created as a love interest for Bimbo and was originally drawn as a dog, with long ears, huge jowls, and fl button nose.
		In her first appearances, she portrayed an Indian princess, the queen of a masquerade ball, Bimbo's girlfriend, a singer, and the leader of a strange cult.
		The American Movie Classics cable television channel has aired her cartoons, and she was the first cartoon character to be profiled on Arts and AMP Entertain- ment's "Biography." References to Betty Boop can also be found in contemporary television shows and music.

	Animated Films
		Max Fleischer was responsible for the provocative, adult-oriented, cartoon Betty Boop vamp-character, who always wore a strapless, thigh-high gown (and visible garter) and was based on flapper icon Clara Bow's 'It' Girl and Mae West.
		A prototype of the squeaky- and baby-voiced cartoon queen (voiced for most of the 30s by Mae Questel) was introduced in a Bimbo Talkartoon entitled Dizzy Dishes (1930) - with her appearing as a long-eared puppy dog!
		In the early cartoon Betty Co-Ed (1931), she was called Betty, and in a pre-Code Bimbo cartoon entitled Silly Scandals (1931) (the title spoofed Disney's Silly Symphonies), she was named Betty Boop for the first time (she sings You're Driving Me Crazy while her dress top keeps falling down).

	Betty Boop History
		Also seen in many cartoons with Betty were Grampy (who appeared in over 10 Betty cartoons), and the pretty boy Freddy, her sometime love interest, as well as a host of other personified animals (most of whom disappeared after 1934).
		In a couple of cartoons ("Mysterious Mose"-1930 and "The Old Man of the Mountain"-1933), Betty loses her dress completely, but is conveniently hidden behind a tree or in her bed.
		Her cartoons have been released and re-released, and her complete set of cartoons is now available in an 8 tape set, celebrating her 60th year, (available at any major movie retailer, and Amazon.com.) She remains popular in Europe and in Mexico, as well as other places around the world.

	Betty Boop in Silly Scandals
		Bimbo's appearance is the same as in Bum Bandit; he's a small white dog with a moderately large nose.
		There then follows the standard set of Fleischer audience gags: first Bimbo can't see because he is behind a large hippopotamus who always shifts to block Bimbo's view; the hippo is replaced by a woman with a big hat.
		This cartoon has a mundane beginning and a mundune end, but Betty's performance and the peculiar penguins are top-notch.

	The First Feminist Cartoon: Betty Boop
		Betty started out as a canine, cabaret singer, sidekick to “Bimbo.” “Bimbo” was a small dog that was very much Fleischer Studio’s response to “Mickey Mouse.” “Betty,” still without a name, appeared with “Bimbo,” in “Dizzy Dishes,” August 8, 1930, and her femme charms were never- before-seen.
		She had changed from the dog into a human being — even though “Bimbo,” was still around as her beau/still a dog.
		London and America in the 1970’s and a Betty resurgence of appeal with her headlining in colonized and re-released Fleischer cartoons occurred.

		Plot Summary: Bimbo is a mechanic whose girlfriend (not Betty) agrees to marry him if he wins a fight against "One-Round Mike." Quick as a wink...
		I found it curious that a cartoon made in 1931 would show a closed circuit television setup.
		One thing I did find out, U.M. and M TV Corp bought the rights to the Fleisher cartoons in the 1950's, long after the cartoons were orginally made.

		Betty is again cast as a performer, this time in a circus, where she serves both as a lion tamer and as a tightrope walker, wearing merely a 1930s forerunner of a bikini in the latter role.
		By descending into the mine, Bimbo and Ko-Ko are symbolically descending into the underworld, so it should be no surprise that they encounter ghosts, though it is surprising that the ghosts are busily playing baseball — with lighted bomb instead of a ball.
		At the center of this cartoon is a death and resurrection motif.
