| 1) This is an unusual arcade to say the least! Interestingly enough, theFleischers also did a Popeye centering around penny arcades some yearslaterthat is considerably different in style and mood from this one. The BettyBoop series as a whole had a much different feel from the Popeye series,which is understandable, as the intent of the two series are muchdifferentas well. Betty is making change in a penny arcade and the gags are mostlysight gags (actually, primarily Bimbo drooling over Betty for about athirdof the short) and it is bizarre and occasionally a bit creepy. Marvelousshort, but a strange one. In print and available. Well worth watching.Most recommended. | |
