The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

Betty Boop Says Goodbye To Her Original Animal Friends

In nearly every one of Fleischer’s films that Betty Boop appeared in, she was never far from her animal companions. There are approximately 36 animals that appear throughout Betty Boop comics and films, including Spider, Pudgy, Fitz, Gus Gorilla, Little Crow, and more. But the animals change throughout the years. In the earliest episodes of the Betty Boop series, the animals can talk. However, after 1934, the talking animals had been completely eliminated. From here on out, her only animals were silent pets.
