The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

Each Second Of Film Took 24 Frames

Creating cartoons was much different in the 1930s than it is today. Although it’s still necessary to have illustration skills to produce cartoons and animated films today, the use of computers and other technologies in the film industries have made things much easier and definitely more streamlined. Back in the early days of Betty Boop, cartoon animator Max Fleischer had to draw 24 frames for each second of film that was created! When you think about the time it would have taken to produce that many illustrations, it’s amazing that character was featured in so many films.
