Perhaps the most amazing thing about Betty Boop is that, even after all these years, we’re still madly in love with her! Her indomitable spirit, steadfast optimism and unfailing good will, continue to win hearts and inspire new fans all around the globe.
Never one to shy away from new something new, Betty is as modern today as she was in the 1930s, with active and lively followings on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. Even more startling than her longevity may be the sheer range of her appeal, with fans of every age and from every walk of life. Betty has inspired everything from diaper bags to slot machines, paper towels to biker jackets, fashion forward make-up to professional Stethoscopes! Today, with a gorgeous, new book set for release in September, Betty shows absolutely no sign of slowing down! In 2015 alone, she's launched a new online store in Japan, and two new game apps: the free Dress Betty Game App and the new Betty Boop slots game within the Jackpot Party Social Casino Facebook App. Perhaps it is because the Fleischers themselves were inventors as well as animators, and always interested in what was new and exciting and seemingly impossible, that Betty has so gracefully made the transition to the modern era. Or perhaps it is Betty's unflagging optimism and determination to overcome any obstacle that allows us to believe that anything is possible. Or maybe she's just great at reminding us to enjoy ourselves, to have fun.
