'Betty Boop', creator Max Fleischer's sexy cartoon icon,is being developed into a big screen feature by producer Simon Cowell, Fleischer Studios and Animal Logic ("The Lego Movie") in a "...music-driven hybrid animated comedy...":
"'Betty' is an icon," said Cowell, "and one of the biggest stars in the world – I’m thrilled to be working with her..."
Betty Boop debuted in the 1930, cartoon short "Dizzy Dishes", the sixth installment in Fleischer's "Talkartoon" series...
...created as a curvy caricature of singer Helen Kane, imagined as an anthropomorphic French poodle.
Fleischer finalized Betty as a human character in 1932, for the cartoon "Any Rags".
Her floppy poodle ears became hoop earrings, and her black poodle nose became a girl's button-like nose.
