Baby Be Good

While I am pretty sure there are many more Little Jimmy cartoons out there to see, so far I have been amazed at what an unlikable little creep this character was. However, when Betty Boop is babysitting the little jerk, she does not resort to child abuse but sings him a song. This song is the story of a little boy (who, interestingly, looks EXACTLY like Jimmy)--a little brat of a boy that tortures animals and the like. However, because of his evil, the fair (who looks like Betty) is going to punish him unless he changes his ways--at which point the film appears to run backwards and he undoes all the nasty things he's done. An odd combination of cutesy and nasty all in the same cartoon, this one is only okay to watch. Nice animation but the Jimmy is such an unlikable little creep that the ending was dissatisfying. I wanted to see him get hit by a bus or something worse!

A nice mother - side of Betty Boop, the terrible Little Jimmy, a moraal lesson in which a hungry lion is more useful than a fairy and the reasonable end. You know each element but the mix of creepy , bad actions and nice moral are enough for a sort of educational - but not realistic story.

Betty is baby sitting a really unlikable little boy who is unkind and snotty. Whenever Betty leaves the bedroom, the boy starts acting up. So Betty tells him a story of a young child who is quite naughty and eventually goes overboard. It is a moral tale, but it still leaves the little creep in charge.

Baby Be Good (1935)

** (out of 4)

Betty Boop is taking care of a baby boy who is constantly causing trouble. After he paints her cat, Betty sits him down for a story about a baby boy who is constantly doing bad things until he is visited by a fairy (played by Betty of course). BABY BE GOOD is a short I had mixed feelings about. On one hand, there's all sorts of imagination going on and especially in the fantasy sequence where we see the boy doing all sorts of bad things from tying a can to a dog's tail to breaking windows to cutting a man's hair. There's some pretty fun stuff going on but the biggest problem is that none of it is really that funny because the kid himself is just so annoying. Instead of the fairy talking to the little one you really wish she'd find a belt! The ending of the picture really doesn't work either as the kid is basically told he has to take back everything he's done and this is when the film just plays in reverse. I guess the filmmakers thought this was going to be clever but it just doesn't work and again it's rather unfunny. BABY BE GOOD is certainly a mixed short that's only recommended to Betty fans who want to see all of her films.

This cartoon was ok. It was cute. What are grown men doing watching girl's cartoons, I don't know. I surfed onto this. Why is every other review referring to the baby girl as 1) a boy? 2) A creep and other insult words? She was not an annoying character unlike Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry or Tweety bird, those are insufferable! 3) What is everyone talking about "older Betty Boop"?? Older than what? This is 1935, FCOL!

And no, there is no such thing as "ahead of your time"! Obviously a lot of people are clueless about the past, otherwise no one would ever use such ridiculous and "fantastic" hyperbole wording. So this is the 2nd BB cartoon I've watched. The other was about getting some sleep in a noisy town and going to the countryside. (I might have seen another.) I don't get this cartoon. It's pretty much for girls. I mean do these reviewers also watch "Hello Kitty" cartoons and "My Little Pony"?? Never mind!

I just feel like everyone is bonkers outta da Twilight Zone here, so I'm giving it an 8/10 to fix the idiot's reviews. And to the other idiot: there is no giving 2 out of 4 stars, you're giving 2 out of 10, you idiot! There's no need to type nonsense, just use the button here and click the stars. PS: WHO in their right mind has ever rated something out of 4 stars? It's always and without fail always been either out of 10 stars or, elsewhere, out of 5. (Remember youtube's star system? 5/5 good 1/5 bad.)

There you go. Because when there's too many dummies posting smack, I have to counter-post. The end.
