Betty Boop and Grampy

An occasional co-star in the Betty Boop cartoons was Grampy--and I sure wish they'd put him in more of these films. No matter what, I always seem to smile when the cartoon is complete thanks to this delightful character.

The cartoon begins with Grampy sending Betty a note--asking her to bring some friends to his place for a party. Along the way, she asks two movers, a fireman and a cop--all who are in the middle of VERY important jobs. Regardless, they drop everything and accompany Betty. At Grampy's house, he demonstrates several goofy inventions and serves punch and cake. Then, using his thinking cap, he figures out a way to make music so everyone can dance. And, while it's only dancing, I couldn't help but smile as I watched the old coot dance! A simple and sweet little cartoon from start to finish, it's got great imagination, terrific animation (I loved the 3-D look at the beginning) and the music will make your toes tap. What more could you want from a cartoon?
