In May 2022, animator and archivist Steve Stanchfield released a Blu-Ray collection titled "The Other Betty Boop Cartoons, Volume 1" through his label Thunderbean Animation, which features public domain cartoons that were not on the Olive Films sets. Volume 3 was released on April 29, 2014, and Volume 4 on September 30, 2014. Volume 1 was released on August 20, 2013, and Volume 2 on September 24, 2013. All of them were released by many labels but there were no such releases for the Betty Boop cartoons on DVD and Blu-ray, up until 2013 when Olive Films released the non- public domain cartoons in four "Essential Collection" volumes, although they were restored from the original television internegatives that carried the altered opening and closing credits. She was featured in 126 theatrical cartoons between 19 (90 in her own series and 36 in the Talkartoons and Screen Songs series). We fangirl her because we recognize she’s the first of our kind: a stylin’, sexy, take-no-shit dame who knows the power of a great lipstick.The following is a list of films and other media in which Betty Boop has appeared. (See Mouse, Minnie.) Not Betty-she was allllll woman. Still, before Betty Boop, female cartoon characters were childish stereotypes, or literally the same as male ones with eyelashes and a bow added on. I’m pretty sure everyone agrees the oversized toddler head on top of her scantily-clad curves is nightmare fuel. But why do we love her so much? It’s not the cloying sexy-baby voice, the Cyndi Lauper accent, or the annoying catchphrase. An 86-year-old It-girl, she has sold more merch than the all of the Kardashians put together, collaborating with everyone from Jean Paul Gaultier on perfume to Supreme on a satin jacket recently worn by Bella Hadid. (The designer even joins her in a three-part series of old-timey animated shorts.) The nostalgia factor for Betty Boop is off the charts. Betty Boop lipstick (on sale today), which comes right on the heels of the announcement that Zac Posen is releasing a Betty Boop dress collection in a new shade called Betty Boop Red by Pantone. Boop-Oop-a-Doop! Editors and red-lipstick fans are freaking out over the launch of the M.A.C.
