Looking Back on Betty Boop’s 1930 Cartoon Debut

Just about everyone in the world knows who Betty Boop is. She made her debut in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes which was released on August 9, 1930… exactly 93 years ago! Just a few years later, Betty Boop served as the original Snow White in an animation by her creators Max and Dave Fleischer. While her looks have been compared to stars such as Greta Garbo and Helen Kane, the creators said that she is more of a creation inspired by the Jazz Age, not any individual person.
