Really Surprised!

MamaGravity

good back-story, and good acting

Huievest

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Bimbo (the waiter), Betty Boop (a nightclub singer, voiced by Mae Questel). Director: DAVE FLEISCHER. Animators: Myron Natwick, Ted Sears. Producer: Max Fleischer.Copyright 9 August 1930 by Paramount Publix Corp. 1 reel.COMMENT: In her first appearance, the Betty Boop portrayed here, with her long dog ears and surrealistically mobile face, is a long way from the Betty Boop that we all know and love. Nonetheless, it's actually a really good surprise to see Betty Boop here, even though "Dizzy Dishes" is really Bimbo's film, as he and a headless duck dance up a storm while he runs rings around a ruffianly customer who is impatiently waiting for said roast duck. All told, this a a lively, if somewhat bizarre entry (and even an entertainment that could be classed as rather lacking-in-taste!)

At pretty much exactly 6 minutes, this is one of the shortest Betty Boop short films. This one is from 1930, so over 85 years old already and it was the very first on-screen appearance by Betty and as she was not an established star at that point yet, she has to share her screen time with several other characters in here and is just as supporting as these are. Also physical appearance is very different. Just like Tom from Tom and Jerry changed dramatically over the years, it is probably even more extreme with Betty. In this one here, she is a chubby creatures that is still much more dog than human and the sex appeal of the character they relied on so heavily in the years to come is missing entirely in here. The film is basically a collection of individual scenes that were intended funny, but rarely deliver in terms of comedy. It is not working as a film with a coherent story, just as a collection of individual sequences I would say. But it's okay. You cannot launch a character like Betty with perfection already. Still good they introduced her at all. Only worth seeing for huge cartoon lovers though.

Dizzy Dishes (1930) ** 1/2 (out of 4)This is a somewhat forgettable short but it does have one historically important thing that makes it worth watching. The story is quite simple as everyone in the film is a dog character and we are treated to our main character, a waiter, who is falling behind at work. That's until he walks out into the lobby where we see what would be the first appearance of Betty Boop. DIZZY DISHES isn't all that good as there aren't any laughs and the story itself is nothing special. The reason people will want to watch this is that it does feature the first appearance of Betty Boop, although she doesn't look like she eventually would. She has dog ears here and is a lot taller than what most people think of her as. Fans of Betty will want to check this out even though it doesn't offer much else.

The Best thing about this talkartoon feature was it the first cartoon to feature the animated character Betty Boop. Betty was nameless in this feature and was Originally meant as a Caricature of Helen Kane. she most likely was meant to have been Helen kane only in a cartoon form and thats why she was nameless also not to mention Betty Boop was a canine.to avoid confusion margie hines was the first helen kane soundalike chosen to record the singing for this cartoon meaning she was first to voice Betty Boop.The Caricature Performs one of Helen kanes Novelty Hits (I Have To Have You) with some scat lyrics of Boop Oop a Doop/ Poop Poop a Doo/ Boop Boop a Doop. the cartoon has the regular fleischer studio Gags. basically revolving around bimbo the dog. Gus the gorilla can also be seen in this short who was actually one of the characters from the Betty Boop series. Betty boops singing doesn't last very long but its great to see all the expressions in her face, some are really scary. if only her sequence went on longer.I give this cartoon 10/10 because it was the first cartoon to feature Betty Boop. she was classed as ugly in this appearance but sooner or later she went though a few more changes which resulted in her becoming the title name called The Betty Boop Cartoons.
