Opening to Betty Boop Definitive Collection Vol 3 1996 Republic VHS

This video is SOLELY for educational purposes in preserving home video history. I do NOT make any money off these videos, nor do I want any. If you want the complete shorts, some are available officially on DVD and Blu-Ray from Olive Films. There are also a number of public domain discs of varying quality. And the original VHS tapes and laserdisc sets are still relatively cheap used.

The second serious attempt at a quality VHS release of classic black and white Betty Boop shorts by NTA/Republic, who own the original film elements.(The first attempt was a pair of VHS and Beta tapes released by NTA in 1986 after years of issuing only poorly colorized prints on tape.) This is the third tape in an 8 tape collection titled The Betty Boop Definitive Collection. This massive and ambitious set from Republic Pictures Home Video compiled most of the surviving Boop cartoons in quality transfers that are still damn great by modern standards. It's one of the few times in the VHS era that a serious attempt was made at anthologizing almost every major cartoon of a famous series in a single multi-tape set. Vol 3 is split into two separate portions. The first, titled Surrealism, features some of Betty's more off-the-wall and surrealistic shorts. These are some of the most creative shorts the Fleischers ever made and it's a real treat to seem them in superior transfers that have held up well. The second half, titled Betty's Prime, features some of Betty's best solo outing. However, one could argue that there isn't a bad Boop short amongst the bunch. 1. Red FBI Warning 2.
