I’m sure this is going to go over well and people will be respectful over the upcoming Betty Boop film

It’s about to go down. The flakiest of snowflakes won’t like this one little bit.

Betty Boop is based on a black person and was black in the earliest cartoons. Of course, that won’t matter to the mob. She’s white to THEM. Are we trying to destroy their childhoods? (Their childhoods in the 1920s)

She kinda has Betty Boop vibes already tbh. I’m happy the artists are pissing off all the racists.

Wait was Betty Boop supposed to be white?

Esther Jones, aka Baby Esther, was the inspiration for Betty Boop. She’s just coming back to her roots.

Any snowflake, crybaby, ass conservative can kiss Betty Boops Black ass.

Boomers are about to go apeshit.

she’s based on a Black woman and she was just recently played by a Black woman on Broadway

Coming maga meltdown in 3….2…1…

So excited for this. She’s got the energy and wit for Betty Boop, I think she’ll be great

I’m not sure that live action Betty Boop makes any sense.

This is going to be Lizzo and that crystal flute, another well-known MAGA icon, again, isn’t it.

I wanted Taylor Russell, but honestly, I’m just glad the casting director knew their Betty Boop history.


As long as it’s a Black woman playing the role then there’s nothing wrong with the casting. Most people don’t know about the origin of Betty Boop

I love Betty Boop cartoons. my question is: If they are going into the origins of the CARTOON and not , will they draw Betty as a dog, which explains the love between her and Bimbo.

>In early 1930, cartoon animator Max Fleischer debuted a new character named Betty Boop.  Though initially **a dog that talked,** by 1932, Betty had morphed in to a person and she was the personification of a strong, autonomous woman of the 1920’s and she became a cultural icon of the hard times in the 1930’s.  The busty, doe-eyed animation is one of the nation’s most recognized faces, and we got curious about how she came about.

If they are going to go the Helen Kane route, go for it – the court case over they “boop oop a doop” is fascinating:

>During the late 1920s, an African American singer named Esther “Baby” Jones was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem.  She was known for using a **distinctive baby-like talking in her songs and the use of “boo-boo-boo”.  The trial revealed that Ms. Kane had gone to see Baby Esther’s act in April, 1928 and began “booping” just like Esther a few weeks later.**

The trial continued for two years until Mr. Fleisher managed to locate a 1928 sound film of Baby Esther’s performance.  Esther had died in 1934, so the film was all that was left as evidence.  With this in hand, the defense argued that Ms. Kane was not infringed upon because she had infringed upon Baby Esther in the first place.  They further went on to cite that many other actresses and singers such as Clara Bow (below) could have inspired Betty Boop

Quinta is absolutely hilarious, smart and shes very pretty. Seems like a good fit to me. 99% of the incels who are going to complain are gonna be guys who were born 80 years after betty book aired and never ever watched a single short too.

I love her, she’s so funny.

Let them be mad I’m gonna enjoy this regardless

Hey black Betty, bam ballam!

Really like her work on Abbot Elementary. Probably wouldn’t be interested otherwise.

Smh this is gonna go over like a fart in church for some people who have never one day cared about Betty Boop.

Man I can’t wait to see Elon Musk throwing a tantrum pretending to care about Betty Boop

They’re going to show the actual origin and evolution?! That’s the kind of dark history that I’d think they’d want to avoid.

When is the Mr Boop adaptation 

you just know MAGAts are gonna be flying out of the woodwork screaming about Betty Boop being white when it’s well known she is based on a black woman.
