Betty Boop - "Honest Love and True" and "At the Concert" (found animated shorts; 1938): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:44, 14 March 2016

A fan's recreation of what the title card for "Honest Love and True" might have looked like.

Status: Partially Lost

There are two missing shorts from the famous Betty Boop series. "Honest Love and True" (1938) is said to place Betty in the role of a worker at a Klondike saloon. It is rumored to have been included in the 1942-1943 16mm film rental catalog for Films Incorporated, but this claim has not yet been confirmed.

"Buzzy Boop at the Concert" (1938) was most likely about Betty's cousin, Buzzy, wreaking havoc at a concert. Very little is known about this short beyond this surmised premise.

Reputable animation historian Jerry Beck has regarded both of these shorts as lost.
