Restoration funding provided by ASIFA-Hollywood. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Laboratory services by Roundabout Entertainment, Inc., Audio Mechanics, DJ Audio, Inc., FotoKem. Special thanks to Gosfilmofond, Stanislav Dedinsky, Natalie Ryabchikova, Paramount Pictures Archives.
About the film: Eight years after Betty Boop first appeared on-screen to become an era-defining animated icon, the Fleischer Brothers extended her on-screen family with the intention of freshening up the brand. Introduced in 1938 as Betty’s country cousin, Buzzy Boop was Betty’s comic opposite in every way. Where Betty was frequently the fetching victim of unwanted mischievousness, the gum-smacking, marble-shooting, pig-tailed dynamo Buzzy initiated chaos wherever she went. Unseen for 85 years, Buzzy Boop at the Concert is one of only two shorts she appeared in and was thought lost until a print was discovered in Russia in 2019.
Production: Fleischer Studios. Distribution: Paramount Pictures. Producer: Max Fleischer. Director: Dave Fleischer. With: Mae Questel, Jack Mercer.

The way Buzzy is portrayed is pretty interesting, especially for the time. Like, just the act of whistling like that was still seen as a boys thing that girls were threatened with discipline and even violence for copying *in my mother‘s generation over 20 years after this short* because it was likened to hens crowing. Which was bs of course, kids just love to make weird noises in any way they can regardless of gender and this cartoon really gets that sort of energy down. I also like that the opera lady joins in on the fun. A lesser cartoon would have just made her a one-note antagonist who gets upstaged, but these old Betty Boop shorts were just positive like that.

@Rainpooper And that is the main reason Betty Boop and other classic cartoon figures were dropped. That and the fact that they often portrayed African American music, especially that of Cab Calloway, which many whites saw as "scandalous", "indecent", or "perverse". Of course, now those cartoons are seeing a bit of a Renaissance in appreciation, while other cartoons of the period that leaned more heavily into white racism are being locked away in shame (looking at you, Disney).

Good to see how that generation felt about my profession 😭😅 At least she wasn’t a villain, and let the show go on with some fun. Then again, there are funny opera stories as well, like Mozart writing an aria for a soprano he didn’t like who tended to lift her chin for high notes and dip it for low notes. He wrote it with lots of jumps up and down up and down, so when she sang it, she would end up bobbing her head like a chicken! Love from a classical soprano!

But When the singer sings, the audiences are fallen asleep (, including her pianist); until Buzzy takes the stage, turning the boring concert into a jazz-liked entertaining show - much to everyone's delight! 😊😊😊

Though, I saw a 1950s Robin Hood episode that also kinda knocked that out of the water when a Scottish Woman wasn't acting so feminine as Robin expected (with Robin having lived in England most of his life,) either. I forget the episode title, it's the one when Robin went up to Scotland.
