"The Old Man of the Mountain" (1933 Original Black & White Cartoon)
🏞️ Join us on a journey to the whimsical world of "The Old Man of the Mountain," a 1933 American pre-Code live-action/animated short film from the Betty Boop series, crafted by the creative minds at Fleischer Studios.
🎵 Set to the lively music of Cab Calloway and his Orchestra, this animated gem takes you on a musical adventure. Calloway not only provides the music but also voices all characters, except for Betty Boop herself, voiced by Bonnie Poe, with her singing voice performed by Mae Questel.
🎭 The film, originally released on August 4, 1933, showcases the distinctive style of Calloway's music and vocalization. However, the sexually suggestive nature of the cartoon stirred controversy at the time, leading to complaints and subsequent pressure to tone down the Betty Boop character.
🌟 Explore the amusing antics as Betty Boop is kidnapped by the eccentric old man of the mountain, only to be rescued by the forest animals. Despite the controversy, "The Old Man of the Mountain" remains a unique and entertaining subject of its kind.
📜 According to film historian Christopher Lehman, the film's suggestive nature prompted adjustments to the Betty Boop character. The Film Daily, on July 24, 1933, described the short as "distinctive" with "amusing cartoon stuff."
