Buzzy Boop (originally untitled) is a 1938 Fleischer Studios animated short film in the Max Fleischer/Betty Boop Cartoon featuring Betty Boop and her young tomboy cousin Buzzy Boop. [2]
Betty Boop's tomboyish young cousin, Buzzy, takes the train to visit Betty. While riding the train, she is "helpful" to other passengers in a mischievous kind of way. She uses her chewing gum to stick on a sleeping man's toupee, and waters the flowers in a lady's hat.
At Betty's house, Buzzy meets up with a bunch of rough boys next door, who are playing marbles. She tries to join in. She proves better than the boys at tricks like balancing on a fence, and even fares well when the boys unleash a goat to fight with her. Only then is she considered "one of the guys!"
Buzzy Boop makes another appearance in Buzzy Boop at the Concert . For many years, the cartoon was lost. Buzzy Boop at the Concert was discovered in Moscow and was repatriated and restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archives in 2019, with the support of ASIFA-Hollywood. [3]
