Hateful hula

Betty Boop's Bamboo Isle (1932)

Directed by Dave Fleischer this cartoon has the voice of Mae Questel and music from The Royal Samoans. Bimbo and Betty Boop find themselves on a tropical island.

Oh boy. Despite having a live action introduction from the Royal Samoans this cartoon gets pretty damn racist pretty damn fast. There are stereotypes and black face so it's hard to find anything to praise about this cartoon.


2/5
