Buzzy Boop at the Concert is a 1938 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop's young tomboy cousin Buzzy Boop.[2]

For years, it was considered a lost film, until a copy resurfaced in Russia in 2019.[3] The film was subsequently restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and uploaded to their official YouTube channel.[4]

Notes

[edit]
  • Beginning with this film, Betty's appearance was updated to have a more human-like head and a taller body. This was likely done to distance and modernize the character from her previous flapper-like image as seen in previous short films.

Preservation

[edit]

Buzzy Boop at the Concert was preserved and restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. The restoration's funding was provided by ASIFA-Hollywood in collaboration with the Packard Humanities Institute. The restoration premiered at the UCLA Festival of Preservation in 2022.[5]
