00:00How many drawings does it take to make an animated cartoon?
00:25Why, uh, we make from 12,000 to 14,000 drawings for every picture.
00:29That's a lot of work.
00:31That'll make an interesting story for my paper.
00:34Mr. Fleischer, can you let me see how Betty Boop does her stuff?
00:37Yes, I'll have her ready for you in just a moment.
00:40Okay.
00:40And, uh, I'll have her go through some of her stuff for you.
00:42Fine, thanks.
00:50So, Betty, this gentleman from the press, you know,
00:53uh, he would like to see you act.
00:55What would you like to do for him?
00:56Oh, Uncle Mac, I'd like to do the part I play to stop the show.
01:01That man, the hula-hooper dance I did in Bamboo Isle.
01:07All right. I'll get the sets ready for you.
01:11Now, let's see.
01:16Here's one from The Old Man of the Mountain. You remember that?
01:19Oh, sure I do.
01:22And, uh, oh, here's another one. Remember Stopping the Show?
01:26Well, there's another set.
01:27Oh, I like that one.
01:28Now, let's see. Oh, yes. Here's your Bamboo Isle. Remember that one, don't you?
01:32Uh-huh. Good evening.
01:36Come on, Uncle Mac. Give me a lift.
01:44Oh. Thank you.
01:57He's got eyes of blue, but I never cared for eyes of blue.
02:03But he's got eyes of blue, and that's my weakness now.
02:08Oh, me. Oh, I.
02:15I should be good, and that would be good for me.
02:21He likes to boop-boop-boop-be-doop, but I never cared to boop-boop-boop-be-doop.
02:27But he likes to boop-boop-be-doop, and that's my weakness now.
02:33Oh!
02:40Hello, Betsy. Maybe you could give me out a little imitation from me, no?
02:47Okay, Fanny.
02:50Look at me, oh, look at me, oh, oh.
02:54I'm an Indian, uh-huh, I'm an Indian.
02:57Down in the feet is the moccasin for the shoes.
03:01Up in the back is a little bit of a goose.
03:04Up in the head is a feather from a goose.
03:07It's a goose, it's a goose.
03:09But I'm an Indian, and I never cared to boop-boop-boop-be-doop.
03:14But he likes to boop-boop-boop-be-doop.
03:18But I'm an Indian.
03:20Oy, yoy, yoy, yoy.
03:23I'm an Indian, oh.
03:36Thank you, thank you.
03:44Can you imitate me, Betty Boop?
03:46Yes.
03:47I think so.
03:48Then do it, and do it right now.
03:51Right now, Chevy.

04:31How'd you like to romance forever?
04:35Oh, what do you want to hear?

04:41Can't you hear the bees and birdies singing?
04:45Oh, yes.
