Baby Be Good (1935) | Obey Betty Boop

BETTY BOOP IN BABY BE GOOD is a Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop. This was made during the Hays Code so Betty is a lot more toned down. It was released on January 18, 1935. Betty Boop tells her naughty nephew, Junior, a corrective fairy tale (with herself as fairy). Part of the action is replayed in reverse, probably to save on animation. The film was produced by Max Fleischer. It was directed by Dave Fleischer and Myron Waldman who's uncredited. It stars Mae Questel as Betty Boop. Animation is by Edward Nolan and Myron Waldman. Music is by George Steiner. This film is in the public domain meaning it has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. Corporations lobbied Congress to get U.S. copyright laws extended by 20 years, twice! Because of that, it allows published works to be under copyright for almost a century and corporations to squeeze every last ounce of profit from them even long after the profitability has past. It keeps people from enjoying art, which is the purpose of art. #publicdomainfilms
