Disney's Snow White still vaguely resembles, Betty Boop which can be seen in the character's mannerisms and rosebud-like facial features.So Walt scrapped the raunchy image produced by the artists behind cartoon caricature flapper girl Betty Boop, and replaced it with a less provocative princess in a peasant dress. The cartoon genius was shocked by her pouting red lips, long lashes and a sexy glimpse of ankle. The original Snow White was deemed too sexy for Walt Disney, who ordered a more wholesome makeover.Most noticeably, the characteristics, mannerisms and the way both represent exaggerated 1930s idealised women, also make apparent how similar they are.It should also be noted that Grim Natwick, most famous for drawing Fleischer Studios' Betty Boop, was also a lead animator for Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which is probably the reason that the two heroines share such similar visual qualities, significantly the cropped black hairstyle as well as the high-pitched, sweet tone to their voices.Also that Adriana Caselotti had "imitated" Betty's speaking voice to create the voice for Disney's character Snow White. This is somewhat believable, given that the Betty Boop short was released in 1933, the year prior to Disney's adaption coming into development and production. Walt Disney was directly inspired to make the film due to the success of the Betty Boop version of the fairy tale.In the concept art for Walt Disney's 1937 classic Snow White, Grim Natwick's early sketches of Snow White resemble Betty Boop.Was released on the 31st of March in 1933.Claude Reese as Bimbo and Koko the Clown.Mae Questel as Betty Boop and Wicked Queen.Betty Boop: " Save me, save me save me! Ooo, thank you!".Betty Boop: " Oh, please don't leave me here alone.Magic Mirror: " You're the fairest in the land!".Betty Boop: " I've heard about your looking glass, looking glass, looking glass!".Queen: " Magic mirror in my hand who's the fairest in the land!".Betty, Koko, and Bimbo dance around in a circle of victory as the film ends. In 1970 in Time magazine, responding to a peculiarly tone-deaf question from a reader who wanted to know what America would look like without black people, Ralph Ellison, the author of Invisible Man. The Queen chases the protagonists until Koko grabs her tongue and, with one mighty yank, turns her inside out. Betty Boop is an indelible icon of the Jazz Age jazz, which developed partly out of classical music, was created by African-American artists. The Queen again asks the magic mirror who the fairest in the land is, but the mirror explodes in a puff of magic smoke that returns Betty and Koko to their normal states and changes the Queen into a dragon. Meanwhile, Koko falls down a hole and arrives at the same cave. The ice coffin slips downhill to the home of the Seven Dwarfs, who carry the frozen Betty into The Mystery Cave. With tears in their eyes, they take Betty into the forest and prepare to execute her.īetty escapes into a frozen river, which encloses her in a coffin-like ice block. The Queen orders her guards Bimbo and Koko to behead Betty. A magic mirror proclaims Betty "the fairest in the land", much to the anger of the Wicked Queen.
