Everybody's favorite flapper, Betty Boop, joins the
cast of CelebriDucks with this very special Duck. Betty Boop was the first flapper cartoon. She made her first appearance on August 9, 1930 in
the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, the sixth installment in Fleischer's
Talkartoon series. She was little like her soon-to-be-famous self,
however. Grim
Natwick, a veteran animator of both Walt
Disney's and Ub
Iwerks' studios, was largely responsible for creating the character,
which he modeled on Helen
Kane, a singer
and contract player at Paramount Pictures, the studio that distributed
Fleischer's cartoons. In keeping with common practice, Natwick made his new
character an animal, in this case, a French
poodle. Beginning with this cartoon, the character's voice was
performed by several different voice
actresses until Mae
Questel got the role, in 1931,
and kept it for the rest of the series.
Looking for that perfect
unique gift for the person who collects Betty Boop? This limited edition Betty
Boop Rubber Duck is a must have. All CelebriDucks have the edition printed on
the bottom so each duck becomes part of a very exclusive limited edition.
