Betty Boop's Rise to Fame is a 1934 Fleischer Studios animated short film, starring Betty Boop. [2]
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. [3]
In the end, Betty jumps back into the inkwell, accidentally splashing ink into the reporter's face.
