Plot

In a live action sequence, a reporter interviewing Max Fleischer asks him about Betty Boop. Max obligingly draws Betty "out of the inkwell" and asks her to perform a couple of numbers. Song and dance numbers from Stopping the Show, Betty Boop's Bamboo Isle, and The Old Man of the Mountain are used.[2]

In the end, Betty jumps back into the inkwell, accidentally splashing ink into the reporter's face.

gollark: I agree, block all ads ever.
gollark: "100% harmless" and such do not actually mean "100% harmless" but are a rhetorical thing which just borrows the language of probability for annoying reasons.
gollark: I don't know.
gollark: Apparently running it costs a lot of energy, and humans evolved in an environment where that was a significant problem.
gollark: It kind of makes sense. Causing the immune system to bother more/less or something.
