BOOP! The Musical is based on the characters created by Max Fleischer. ABOUT BETTY BOOP AND FLEISCHER STUDIOS First introduced in 1930, Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer for his "Talkartoons" series, the world's first animated "talkies" which Max's company, Fleischer Studios, produced for Paramount Studios. Betty initially appeared as a dog-like stage performer who sang and danced with another dog-like character named Bimbo, joyfully entertaining vast audiences of other Fleischer characters from the animal kingdom. Inspired by the collective energy, style and sound of the many popular Jazz Age flappers and entertainers of the 1920s, Betty quickly evolved into a full-fledged human character, and by 1932 she had become the only female animated screen star in the world. Voiced by Mae Questel, Betty starred in more than 100 cartoons, 90 of which are included in the official Betty Boop series, which ended in 1939. Since then, Betty has appeared in dozens of hit movies, television specials, commercials, and was the first cartoon character to be profiled by A&E's Biography series. Today, Fleischer Studios with their team of creative professionals and worldwide licensing agency, Global Icons ( www.globalicons.com), continue to parlay the iconic Betty Boop into a worldwide licensing and entertainment phenomenon, delighting millions of fans and collectors alike.
