Betty Boop

Betty Boop is a main character in the Talkartoons series. She appeared in many episodes alongside her friends Bimbo and Ko-Ko. She appeared in Talkartoons, Screen Songs, and eventually, her own series.

History
Betty Boop was created in 1930 as a caricature of Helen Kane and an anthropomorphic poodle to be the love interest of Bimbo. She appeared in Dizzy Dishes, where Bimbo is making a roast duck, but gets sidetracked and gleefully watches her sing. This was the first of many cartoons to feature Betty. In all of the Talkartoons she appeared in, she was paired up with Bimbo. In Mask-a-Raid, her dog ears were changed to hoop earrings which was the change that turned her into a human. When Talkartoons ended, she went on to her own series until 1939.

From 1934-1937, and again in 1947-1988, Betty Boop became a star in comic books as well. In 1955, the shorts in her series were sold to television. In the 1980s she starred in two TV specials, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In 2013, four volumes of a DVD series called Betty Boop: Essential Collection were released by Olive Films, with many Betty Boop cartoons on them. In February 2016, it was announced that a Betty Boop TV show would air in 2018, which will, according to Deadline, "recount the daily struggles, joys and victories of young Betty Boop, who has every intention of being on stage and becoming a superstar".
