Notes and comments
- The studio produced this short after discovering that Betty was very popular in Japan.[2] Animator Myron Waldman, worried that Betty's gestures might offend the conservative Japanese audience, asked a group of Japanese college students to review his work.[3]
gollark: I would help them helpfully, but teaching people is actually quite hard, and I don't know Spanish.
gollark: It's an ominous circle.
gollark: How would I know?
gollark: That sure is a person with sunglasses and a beard or something.
gollark: I'm not sure why you would want radiators, but you *could* totally use them.
