Snow-White, also known as Betty Boop in Snow-White, is a film in the Betty Boop series from Max Fleischer's Fleischer Studios directed in 1933. Dave Fleischer was credited as director, although virtually all the animation was done by Roland Crandall. Crandall received the opportunity to make Snow-White on his own as a reward for his several years of devotion to the Fleischer studio, and the resulting film is considered both his masterwork and an important milestone of The Golden Age of American animation. Snow-White took Crandall six months to complete.

Could there please be a Nostalgia Critic for Stuart Little 2?
The Dexter's Lab where his mom had her gloves taken and has a full on mental breakdown.
I don't remember what it's called, but would the one about the "Old Pincushion Man" count? He is after all trying to stab people who are made of balloons.
Can you do Gravity Falls Northwest Mansion Mystery or Adventure Time Blank-eyed Girl?
Invader zim dark harvest you coward thank you heres even a link to a legit way of watching the episode for free ua-cam.com/video/Ai0_IlBWSlY/v-deo.html

Queen: am I the fairest in the place?
Mirror: If I were you, I'd hide my face.
Queen just took a *HARD* L from a mirror.
I'm amazed that the mirror didn't shatter at the sight of the Queen's face!😂
XD
Queen: A mirror just told me I'm ugly... this is seriously my life. Fuck me.....
@@PhoenixAlaris93 Mirror: Don't get your hopes up, no-one's gonna.
That’s pretty bad when you’re flat out roasted by sentient glass
For the longest time as the St. James' Infirmary scene was going on, I was so captivated by the foreground animation that I didn't even notice the background was following the lyrics and story. As soon as I noticed and paid attention to that, I gained even more respect for the cartoon
came here to mention the same thing!
Prepare to be even more blown away. Watch it again and listen to the lyrics while watching the background. They sync up. Everything he sings about is in the background. Music videos before there were music videos. I daresay this might even have been the first one.
@@davidandadamplaygamesphelp3601 that's why I was so blown away when I first noticed it! I was amazed at the detail and line-up of it, namely with the dark creativity of it all
I had no idea that Aunt Bethany in Christmas Vacation was the voice of Betty Boop! MIND BLOWN!🤯
and she was also the voice of Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoons
I can totally hear it now
And the rockets red glare. The bomb bursting in air 😂
@Lauren Brown Dr. Finkelstein from The Nightmare Before Christmas was her husband, if you want your mind blown further.
Is your house on fire clark
Older cartoons were very scary back in the day and they STILL are.
Dry Bowser that why I love these cartoons
Yeah they were not made for kids. Cartoons from the 20s and 30s we're mainly for adults .
Kids today needs more of this kind of animation
@@mullaoslo Indeed
@@Ghostlyking-tc3vu Yup exactly
Fun fact! The voice actor of Betty Boop voiced her one last time for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" having died shortly after. It's sad, but it also proves her entire dedication to acting as a art and life style.
Her last film where she appeared was in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” was Mae Questal. She also voiced as Olive Oyl and Little Audrey.
@@Musicradio77NetworkRoger Rabbit was the last time she voiced Betty
Also, the woman who did the voice of Betty did that one more time in "Who framed Roger Rabbit!"
May she rest in peace
This is like Howl’s room in Howl’s moving castle.
I don’t know if I should focus on the background or the foreground
The movie is great. It made me wanna walk in the skies.
Y’all should try reading the book. Really good stuff. Diana Wynn Jones knew her shit
Mae Questel had some serious range, like unbelievably so. Knowing that the person who voiced a high-pitched character like Betty Boop ALSO voiced Popeye in a few cartoons while his VA was out at war, AND sold the voice, was nothing short of incredible when I heard it.
I think "Bimbo's Initiation" Is the most creepy and scary out of these famous Betty Boop/Fleisher Cartoons, definitely worth checking it out
Swing You Sinners is crazy too.
You mean Sugar Boats?
Epic song.
Such a good one
That's a great one!
I have to agree, although as far as Betty Boop goes, red hot mama, where she goes and defeats all the demons in hell for making passes at her, is another contender
Samurai Jack Episode XXXV: Jack and the Haunted House. The tone, the animation, the imagery. It's essentially a mini horror movie.
As good as that one is Samurai Jack would be considered for teens and older, and he isn't going to cover shows in that demographic. This series is going to be exclusively for shows that go dark despite being for little children.
@@jlan7844 True, but you can't deny many little kids watched Samurai Jack.
@@jlan7844 Also the original four seasons were rated TV-Y7-FV, while the fifth season had the rating bump up for more violence and adult language.
I don't knwo what episode you are referencing but I really like samurai jack back in the day
Oooh yeah.
The Old Man of the Mountain such a classic!
I was just thinking the exact same thing
One thing I really like about this cartoon, when Koko is singing the background kinda matches what he says
As important in the history of cinema Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is, there’s one thing that’s missing.
And that is Cab Calloway singing a somber jazz number as a clown that gets turned into a ghost.
Well, there's always Danny Elfman's take on it in Forbidden Zone.
I feel like Spongebob's "I Was A Teenage Gary" should be on the list.
Yes! That episode freaked me out!
OH YES DEFINITELY!
The part where Spongebob transforms and keeps meowing at Squidward is terrifying.
Or the one with the ear worm
Oddly enough, not even the most disturbing thing on Spongebob could scare me as a kid.
You should totally do either "Bimbo's Initiation" or "Swing You Sinners" for another Fleshier cartoon.
But in terms of Disney, You could do the "Der Fuehrer's Face" or "Education for Death". Both may be WW2 related, but they are really fascinating and just dark to watch.
The looney tunes cartoon “invasion of the bunny snatchers”
Yeah that cartoon weirded me out especially with daffy's doppelganger
Just eat the carrot, Bugs.
I agree
What got me about that one is I only ever caught the second half of it, so you can imagine that I was a little wired out. and I was I think early teens when I saw it. Then I didn't know the name of it. Though I did know it was rather "new" at the time.
I think that one came out in the 80's and I remember seeing it on cartoon network as a preteen or teen. I didn't know the name of it for the longest time (probably 3 or 4 years ago).
I'd love to see Courage the Cowardly Dog's "The Mask", "Perfect", "King Ramses' Curse", "The Great Fusilli", or "The House of Discontent" in the Dark Toons series.
Just give Courage the Cowardly Dog a whole month of Dark Cartoons for itself, honestly. I was never that scared of Courage, but I was a weird kid, the pink panther scared me... ( of course at the time he was in insulation commercials and would pop out of the insulation, never saying a word... in my child mind if he can do that he can come out the T.V.) that and any time a Cartoon character silently slowly looks at the forth wall.. the longer the more unsettling that is!.
Some of those aren’t really that dark tho. Most Courage episodes (especially from season 1) have freaky imagery, and while the ones you listed are the most freaky (especially the cgi monsters) some of them aren’t particularly dark. (keyword: some. The Mask is definitely the darkest.)
What about Demon in the Mattress?
@@constantheadache2045 Maybe. But for some reason, a *lot* of people who saw Courage TCG cite King Ramses' Curse as the scariest ep they recall. So whatever it did, it did it really well.
@@ElijsDima the house of discontent is an episode that's not discussed so much and idk why .The creepy atmosphere is spot on ,You do lose some points in the terrifying department when Eustace starts arguing with the ghost .
Whenever I think back to cartoons that really scared the shit out of me as a kid my first thought is always the Powerpuff Girls episode "Speed Demon". Extremely dark episode even for a show that never shied away from frequently showing blood and violence.
Speed Demon HAS to be the creepiest thing Cartoon Network put on for kids. Yikes.
That episode still terrifies me. Him from the Powerpuff Girls was basically their most hardcore villain--who also just so happened to clearly be the Devil. Any of the earlier episodes with Him were terrifying because he didn't simply rob banks or try to take over the world--oh no. Him preferred to play sick mind games with the PPG in order to destroy them.
what the animators were able to do is mind blowing.
I love this old cartoons, everything from the animation, the weird stories to the music, you gotta love all that swing and jazz! I love how Doug show his passion and love in his review. This a love letter to a masterpiece!
And you can actually see Doug has a real appreciation for this, it’s pretty damn cool
Literally my all time favorite Betty Boop cartoon, I just loved Cab Calloway’s part
Oh, a Betty Boop Cartoon!
Every so often, UPA (the studio responsible for the original Mr. Magoo) would whip out a heaping dose of macabre, especially in stand-alone shorts. The best offhand example would be their 1953 adaptation of "The Tell-Tale Heart", which for an 8-minute cartoon steers impressively deep into the psychological horror. It's worth a review.
Just did ! It did not disappoint ! Especially since it’s one of the few that portray the old man as he is , just an old man . Shows the protagonist as even more deranged than usual , which makes it all the more unsettling .
Oi, this has one of my favorite renditions of Saint James Infirmary. Is a great one.
This was my favorite. Bobo killed it when he sang St. James Infirmary that was great.
Invader Zim "Dark Harvest"
My Life as a teenage robot "The return of Raggedy Android"
Ooooohhh ya both of these are good
Dark harvest freaked the crap out of me as a kid
Yasssss Invader Zim had so much insane shit for kids
"Dark Harvest" is one of my favorites and even as an (slightly older kid) I was amazed how they got away with an episode that dark. It has just the right blend of morbid....and zany to make it truly memorable. (The cooing....lol)
Invader Zim as a series should be called dark Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Betty Boop wasn't really a kid's character. I'm pretty sure the shows were mostly for adults. Just saying.
Dude none of these cartoons were actually made for kids
@@robcandy9273 Technically Courage and Ren and Stimpy were but I agree. Twas a different age it was
@@britaingray5400 no, those were marketed to teens and early teens
It was a different era back then. You could get away with a lot more in a kids cartoon than you can today. And cartoons for adults didn't actually exist back then, that's actually a relatively new concept, so new that most people still see cartoons as being strictly for kids. But it's only really in the 90's that cartoons for adults started to become a thing and this was LONG before that when no one was thinking that this kind of stuff would have any appeal for adults.
The first cartoon (animated movie, actually) that was strictly for adults was, appearantly, Fritz the Cat, in 1972. Before that I don't think the audience was really divided.
I love the Cab Calloway bits. Huge fan of his work. This is by far one of my favourite animations, sad to say I didn't see this until I was older but the older cartoons have always been a huge fascination for me. I wanted to badly to go into animation but it sadly never happened.
Hands down, my most favorite 1930s animation, or at least in the top 3. It continues to leave a huge impact on me to this day. Absolutely adore everything about it.
"The Mask" courage the cowardly dog
Oh yes. It's definitely the darkest episode, but not in the way you'd think.
I really hope he does this one
You probably commented some time before he uploaded it but have you seen it yet. It's really interesting
I’ve been waiting for a video on a Betty Boop cartoon! I love how dark and strange they get. It’s really unexpected.
Another thing about the background during the song is that it coincides with the lyrics. Every other line has something for it. It's incredible.
This was the one I was waiting the most lol can you do the old man of the mountain ?
Oh thats a very good one
Yes! My two favorite cartoon shorts ever.
I love the eeriness of this film so much. and then Cab Calloway fits so perfectly into this animation his kind of whiny voice along with his incredible unique dancing.
this is honestly very impressive for how old it is I had always heard this was good but I'm glad I finally saw how good it was for myself
this is my most favourite episode of Betty Boop! I've been hip to Betty since I was like 3 cause of my older sister and this song got me into Calloway hardcore. I walk around singing this song every other day aahh I'm so happy to hear someone else talk about it
Oh he’s got to review Betty Boop: Old Man on the Mountain now. That’s some crazy shit 😨
This is absolutely the series I needed from this channel. Thank you!
Next Dark toons review: Demon in the Matress *(Courage the Cowardly Dog)*
2. Chuckie's Wonderful life *(Rugrats)*
3. One beer *(Tiny toons)*
4. The Puppet Master *(Avatar: the Last Airbender)*
5. Return of the Ragedy Android *(My life as a Teenage Robot)*
6. No Smoking *(Cow and Chicken pilot)*
7. Bold King Cole *(Felix the Cat)*
I love the surrealism in these cartoons. I never realized this was such a dark cartoon but like you I enjoy dark cartoons as well.
"But I still got it, Eddie. Boop-boop-be-doop, boop!"
You know what, you made my dreams come true! I'm glad I got to see one of my favorite people on UA-cam FINALLY review this Betty Boop cartoon. I swear whenever I see this short, I can't stop humming St. James Infirmary. I rarely see anyone review this, this review just made my entire year!
Really liking these episodes of Dark Toons! They've introduced me to so many scary episodes I didn't know about before. If Doug has the chance, I think he should look at Disney's Prince and the Pauper and Mickey's Christmas Carol short films as I always thought that they had some scary scenes and atmosphere that were a little scarier than the usual Disney shorts.
I really recommend this old cartoon called Swing All You Sinners. The visuals are disturbing yet amazing. It also involves Bimbo
The adventures of mark twain is this generations dark cartoons!
Holy crap YES!!!
He isn't looking for movies right now unfortunately for this series, but yes.
I still remember that creation scene with Satan. Kept me up at night for weeks!
I’ve heard of that one, but haven’t seen it. It sounds like a good match for this series.
Ironically saberspark (if you heard of him) is doing a review
Thanks for reviewing this! I never seen this before and this is definitely one of my favorite cartoon shorts ever!
Love your dark toon's series.
Doug: still hasn’t done The Interview
Me: What am I, chopped liver?
This makes me wanna watch more retro cartoons ;p
Same!! But I’m not sure what to watch
Man, this cartoon was amazing! Thank for showing us this piece of animation history.
Now we need the coffin dance remix
I HIGHLY recommend the Fleischer short "The Cobweb Hotel" from the Color Classic series. It both creeped and enthralled me when I first watched it (at 4 years old no less), and only years later did I realize how dark it actually was when rewatching it.
"Who's the fairest in this place?"
"If I were you I'd hide my face!"
Doug: I love this thing, I *LOVE* this thing!
Me: I love that thing, too. :3
Seriously, I love the entire funeral sequence of this cartoon, and especially Koko's transformation. I'm glad you did a review of it. More people need to know that this masterpiece exists.
An Impressive use of Rotoscope .
I know you've done a vlog on Over the Garden Wall but I think maybe a rewatch for this series would make many of us very happy :)
I just watched the animation and it’s so amazing and cool! I love the animation and I want to slow it down and analyze it! It’s so entertaining to watch! And it’s even more entertaining to watch more then some modern things with modern technology!!! I’ve never seen a Betty boop cartoon (at least I’m my memory. I think I might of watched one as a kid) and now I want to watch more!!!
I love this. Whenever I think of a good Halloween cartoon, this and Minnie the Moocher will alaays pop up. The best thing is, since I just watched it again recently after PLAYING Cuphead, I notice exactly how much inspiration they took from it. I knew that most of their influence came from Fleischer, but I mean, they took the backgrounds of this specific short and just ran with it for Inkwell Hell. I love the backgrounds in all the Inkwell Hell stages, so after paying closer attention to this one, I love this short more now. I really want to see more out of Betty Boop, because I really don't know where to find compilations of shorts, and I've pretty much seen all the ones that are on UA-cam. Popeye would also be nice to see more of. I used to just sort of respect Fleischer for what it did, but lately after watching a lot more of these shorts, I realize that I actually do enjoy the shorts. I'll also admit that I've sort of been noticing the opposite for Disney. I ama massive Disney fan, but after watching a lot of the earlier shorts that are mainly just Mickey or Silly Symphonies, I kind of don't enjoy them as much as I respect their history. I wish Paramount would make the Fleischer toons more easily avaibable for streaming so I could further enjoy these great, dark, funny cartoons.
I didnt know Ghost manes mercury lyric video was an actual cartoon
Might I suggest a choice few.....
Tex Avery cartoons:
-Who Killed Who?
-The Cuckoo Clock
Looney Tunes:
-The Case Of The Stuttering Pig
-Hyde And Hare
-Invasion Of The Bunny Snatchers
You should check out an old Happy Harmonies cartoon called "Bottles". It's not as dark as this, but it's full of surrealist imagery and it's pretty F'ed up. I think someone like you could do it justice!
I remember a Disney cartoon from when I was little called Little Toot. It's not the darkest cartoon out there, but there's a point where this little tug boat wanders away from harbor, and the waves turn dark and start chanting "bad boy" at him. I don't remember much else about it, but I sure remember how much that scared me as a kid.
their anthropomorphic vehicle cartoons had just a touch of darkness on them. I remember one about a plane that wanted to be a faster one... only to get hurt and the father having to make the decision on what parts he was going to keep after the surgery. ( I think) but they had a few like this. I swear there is one about a car, a plane and the one you mention about a boat.
I owe this cartoon for introducing me to Saint James Infirmary.
Fantastic song.
Seems like everyone has a version.
It's pretty amazing the got a musician as excellent as Cab Calloway involved in these projects.
That clown has style.
That clown *IS* style. He is pure style incarnate
My god, these kind of cartoons would scare the piss out of me as a kid. Something about the rotoscope movement & music combined was nightmare fuel...never stopped me from watching them again and again. What's wrong with me?
Really liking this idea for Thursday. Keep it up!
I love these videos Doug! I love watching you just sit there and gushing over how the animation was done and how cool it is.
The closest equivalent nowadays is hazbin hotel on UA-cam, but the animation in this is just incredible.
Except hazbin was never spun as a kid cartoon. I know Betty boop wasn't really one content-wise but it always passed for one in Hollywood. For the times anyway.
I like Hazbin hotel.... But it's nothing like this. It doesn't go half as hard in its animation. (Not that it doesn't have some really cool character designs. Though Charlie herself is a bit lacklustre, in my opinion.) In terms of pure creativity in character design, I'm apt to go for the amazing world of gumball. They have a consistent style of animation for the main family and just go bonkers with it! Ren and stimpy does it too.
Hazbin is just wacky edgy cartoon stuff. Its good at that but its in no way comparible to this. This is a weird product of its time, Hazbin is just a mean spirited cartoon for really hardcore edgelords.
Check out Meatcanyon
@@nophiontrollbringer661 Betty Boop cartoons were also meant to be wacky edgy cartoons for the time they were created in.
Also, you consider "Hazbin" a mean-spirited cartoon? I dunno; it seems much more positive and lighthearted compared to something like "Helluva Boss".
Cab Calloway is a dapper gent of his days and he was awesome in Blues Brothers may he rest in peace!
Always found it weird that Betty boop was sexualized even though she was very young
Betty Boop cartoons were originally made for adults, not kids. They often played as part of your movie ticket.
shes 13 IIRC
I don’t know, even as a kid she always came across as a grown woman to me. She doesn’t particularly look or act like a little girl, she didn’t even dress like a little girl. Back then, her clothing would’ve been associated with a full grown woman’s clothing.
@@gothicMCRgirl Same. She's shaped like a grown woman and almost always lived alone, didn't she?
I just looked it up. According to the Betty Boop Wiki: "Betty is aged 13-16 in the original cartoon series from 1932-1934."
16 seems to have been the age of consent during that era, so in that context it sorta makes sense, but it's still really weird to me having been raised by the standards of today. Also, under that same context - why would she sometimes be depicted as YOUNGER than 16? I mean... 13 years old? Really? First off, Betty wouldn't have had NEARLY that kind of body around that age, and secondly WHY WOULD SHE BE SEXUALIZED AT 13?? IT MAKES NO SENSE EVEN IN CONTEXT!!
The Cuphead cues don't stop at King Dice visual reference too! In all the short bosses you fight at the Craps Table fight before getting to him, the backgrounds have that same beautiful watercolor views into HELL that toons like this have as well. Skeletons and Devils playing at card tables, a swirling mass of smoke when you fight the big snazzy cigar boss, and so on. Gotta love it~
When you notice, skeletons drinking milk at a bar.
Wow
Death isn't a barrier to taking your calcium.
It’s fairly recent, but Adventure Time’s “The Suitor”. There’s a lot to unpack in that one, but it was one of the first cartoons I remember that flat out said that love at first site wasn’t real, and then explained why.
I think my favorite dark Betty Boop cartoon is “Hot Mama” in which Betty goes to hell. Lots of the Boop cartoons were fantastically dark so definitely check them out if dark cartoons interest you!
You’re right! This cartoon looks amazing! I have to admit, they don’t make them like this anymore.
U gotta do the Bimbo “The Initiation” cartoon short where he’s basically joining a cult ...
Christan Is my name lol even that line is still creepy to this day👻
When I was in animation school, we watched this short specifically as an example of rotoscoping. Nice to know others remember it too.
The Disney cartoon “ chicken little” the 1943 short and not the terrible movie
Although the movie is still terrifyingly bad
I dint know old cartoons were this AWESOME i relly thank you for showinge this gez, amazing
Okay, who wants to tell Doug that cartoons were made for adults back then? I'm getting a little annoyed with him continuously saying "little little kids" when talking about old school Fleischer, Disney, and Warner Bros.
It a bit more complex than that. Cartoons were shown at the theater at the time and often before and after movies, so audiences was mostly adult, but kids watch these shows, so there was limits on sex and violence, but no where near today standards
You'd think that as a critic/reviewer he'd be a little more knowable about this stuff too.
Thanks for checking this one out! It was the first on my mind when you started this.
I was gonna say that the queen sounds like olive oil from popeye
She looks quite a bit like her too.
@@glowworm2 Same voice actress actually. Both her and Betty Boop, are voiced by the same actress as Olive Oil.
I love these videos. I never really watched these shows growing up but i've been enjoying seeing them now
All I know of this cartoon was Ghostemane.
This episode is the only 1 I know.
Gamer dork, totally out of contacts with everything
I always did love this cartoon! Especially Cab's song.
6:48 Ghostmane)))
the background is so amazing, it actually follows the song
The cartoons which inspired Bendy and the Ink Machine.
I always loved how the background followed the song lyrics too.
The Mickey Mouse cartoon “the mad doctor” even though there a nostalgia critic riffs video
Ya did it
This is so weird, I was watching this cartoon this morning.
I absolutely love the Max Fleischer cartoons, they were my childhood ^_^
The Mickey Mouse cartoon “ runaway brain”
Epicgamer127 the Hedgehog yeah that one is really dark
It is surprisingly dark for a Mickey cartoon from the 90s. Definitely something Disney wouldn’t make today.
It's the most accurate short to the Comics Mickey...
Yes, I was waiting for you to react to this one !!!!
Could there please be a Nostalgia Critic for Stuart Little 2?
It's the next review.
I dont know if anyone else noticed (you probably did) but in case you didn't: The images in the backround goes along with the songs lyrics. Its so cool!
The Queen is literally a Cuphead boss.
Sally Stageplay maybe? 👀
There was a really creepy episode of “Little Audrey” that traumatized me as a kid. Oddly, I can’t remember much about it. I was around 3 or 4... I only remember crying and running terrified away from the living room the first time I saw it. Occasionally my dad, thinking he was so f*cking funny, would play that VHS when I wasn’t expecting it. Just so he and his friends could laugh at my horrified reaction 😒 anyway, if someone else can remember a creepy “Little Audrey” cartoon, maybe they can provide more details.
