Just when we thought we couldn't get more excited about BOOP! the Musical... this amazing video shows up on YouTube featuring Jasmine Amy Rogers (a.k.a. Betty Boop) singing "Where I Wanna to Be" in a recording session with composer David Foster!
With just hours to go before our first preview... we're thrilled to share an inside look at BOOP! the Musical!
The people at PBS took this story seriously and we couldn't be more grateful. We know that this story touches on subjects that feel particularly thorny right now and we hope that this course correction will move us toward a fuller and more nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in our country's history; one that continues to resonate and influence us to this day. You can read whole story, appropriately titled "Betty Oops," here: https://www.pbs.org/publiceditor/blogs/pbs-public-editor/betty-oops/ 
Check out this amazing and informative short film from the folks at VOX. Hosted by Phil Edwards, this episode of Vox Almanac features one of Max Fleischer's best known inventions, the rotoscope.

This month, Cosmo online featured drag queen Blair Bitch's "Betty Boop inspired" transformation - complete with the most remarkable inflatable wig we've ever seen - and we just couldn't wait to share it with you! You can watch the full transformation HERE.  Of course, watching Blair Bitch's fantastic transformation reminded us of the many creative and ingenious Boop transformations making their away around the internet, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to share just a few of our favorites. A great reminder that any time is the right time to get your Betty Boop on!
Yes, that's right: Superman and Betty Boop!
Released November 28, 1941, "The Mechanical Monsters" will be celebrating its 77th anniversary. What a wonderful way to celebrate! Find out how to attend one of Fathom Events special screenings of Superman HERE. Did you know? Clark Kent transformed into Superman in a phone booth for the very first time in "The Mechanical Monster." This, of course, would go on to become a central feature of the Superman mythology. We expect to see Superman in the sky, but what the heck is Betty Boop doing up in the sky?
You can find the Short Treks episode "Calypso" on CBS All-Access now.
Mickey Mouse made his first screen appearance 90 years ago today - on November 18, 1928.

Find out more about the historic links between these two animation icons in this special exhibit!
All of us at Fleischer Studios join the world in mourning the loss of Stan Lee, the legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics.  The original Fleischer Superman films feature prominently in a recent New York Times review of DC Universe, DC Entertainment's new streaming service.
