Betty inspires a "Cups for a Cure" we had to share!

Betty's-Boobs-for-a-Cure Bra, designed and built by Karin Kneitel

Check out this fun and fanciful bra designed and built by Max Fleischer's own great-grand daughter Karin Kneitel!

Karin built this ingenious, one-of-a-kind masterpiece as a "Cups for a Cure" contest sponsored by her employer PSEG. Designed to raise cancer awareness and benefit local breast cancer organizations, the contest asks entrants to create bra designs which are then voted on by pledging a dollar to the design of one's choice. 

"I love anything having to do with creative thought; totally my passion my whole life." says Karin. "I can’t wait till I retire so I can make things full time even just for the fun of it. I’m exploding inside to do this stuff." 

You can't vote for Karin's very appropriately named "Betty's-Boobs-for-a-Cure" bra - this is an in-house contest for employees-only - but if you love this idea, as we do, take a moment to enjoy Karin's incredible handiwork and then give to the breast cancer charity of your choice - or any of the great organizations supported by this contest:
  • Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program
  • Karen Allen Donovan Foundation in Partnership with Bra-ha-ha
  • Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Long Island

Thanks to Karin for allowing us to share her design with all of you, and for using her talents in support of a great cause!

UPDATE: For those of you who are wondering... Karin's design won 2nd place out of 60 entries! Congrats, Karin!!!

A Fabulous First Look at the New Popeye Film

9/19/2014

 
Thanks to our friends at King Features for posting this amazing first glimpse of what the new Popeye Movie might look like. 

Currently in development at Sony Pictures Animation, with Genndy Tartakovsky (“Hotel Transylvania”) directing the CG, the film will be an adaptation of the story of Popeye's origins.
In addition to an incredible animated sequence featuring Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and Eugene the Jeep (remember him?), the video includes a short intro by Genndy Tartakovsky.  Mr. Tartakovsky credits his first teacher, long-time Fleischer Studios animator Gordon Sheehan (who was actually an animator on the very first Fleischer Studios "Popeye the Sailor" film) with inspiring his life-long affinity for Popeye.

Cool new Betty Boop designs by Japan's Shinzi Katoh

9/17/2014

Check out this news from BettyBoop.com: renowned Japanese graphic artist Shinzi Katoh is working in collaboration with King Features to develop some exciting new designs for Betty Boop, and for her
long time friend, Popeye!
Initially the designs will be licensed for products in Japan... but there are subsequent plans to license Katoh's designs throughout the world. (We can't wait!)

Katoh says, “When I was a child, I saw Betty Boop for the first time on an old black-and-white TV and I thought that she was a spectacular leading star from a distant land. This collaboration is very meaningful for me. I am pleased that I can convey to people across the world that same excited feeling I felt when seeing Betty Boop for the first time.”
