First story is Grumpy helping Betty's after party house chores. second story, Bettey trys to get Junior to the carnival, however a rainstorm washed out the plan,,,and Grumpy to the resecue! Those who have never seen any of the Fleischer carttons are in for a great treat. This is a collector's must have considering it is the 1st actual Betty Boop DVD release. Fleischer's first real star is Betty Boop and you got to see the original here. I think everyone should encourage Gootimes to release more. Besides, my four year old daughter really loves Betty Boop.

Summary: Excellent collection at a great price
Review: This DVD features female cartoon characters from the 1930s and 1940s - most notably Betty Boop. Most of the story lines are clever and entertaining. My kids thoroughly enjoy them, as do I. The cartoons are reasonably well restored, which, in view of the exceptional price, was a wonderful surprise. The two Little Lulu cartoons did not restore very well, though, and look a little washed out. Two of the very best and most elaborate Betty Boop cartoons are found here (Poor Cinderella and Betty in Blunderland). The Grampy cartoons are also great. The best non-Boop cartoon here is Tarts and Flowers. Poor Cinderella is on the new Max Fleischer Cartoon Classics DVD, but the quality of it here is a little better. From a PC standpoint, Betty Boop is in respectable attire in all of the cartoons except Blunderland. New sound effects are added, which are obtrusive when the sound is run through my stereo, but effective enough when played through my cheap TV speakers. There is no audio feature allowing viewers to forego the sound effects tracks. GoodTimes apparently provided no product detail to Amazon about this DVD. The disk contains no special features and the ten cartoons, totaling 71 minutes, are as follows: (1) Poor Cinderella (Betty Boop, Color Classic - two color)
(2) The Scared Crows (Betty Boop, B&W)
(3) The Seapreme Court (Little Audrey, color)
(4) A Scout with the Gout (Little Lulu, color)
(5) Betty in Blunderland (Betty Boop, B&W)
(6) Tarts and Flowers (Little Audrey, color)
(7) Toonerville Trolley (Van Beuren cartoon, featuring a large house frau, color)
(8) Bargain Counter Attack (Little Lulu, color)
(9) House cleaning Blues (Betty Boop, Grampy, B&W)
(10) Grampy's Indoor Outing (Betty Boop, Grampy, B&W)
