Queen Betty

Betty Boop hangs around toys, not lecherous men, in Parade of the Wooden Soldiers (1933). In fact, the toys make her their queen.

A soldier fires a rocket into the air (note the blur in the background to help create a speed effect). It bursts into balls which form a sceptre, a crowd and an ermine regal robe.



The regal garb descends upon Betty, who adopts a queenly look.



Seymour Kneitel and William Henning are the credited animators. Dave Rubinoff, known at the time at Eddie Cantor’s violinist on radio, appears in live action.
