Betty Boop: Uncensored

1. Kerr-Choo
2. Crazy Inventions
3. Is my Palm Read
4. In Blunderland
5. Rise to Fame
6. Poor Cinderella (color)
7. Baby be Good
8. Taking the Blame
9. Stop That Noise
10. Swat the Fly
11. No! No! A Thousand Times No!
12. A Little Soap & Water
13. A Language All My Own
14. Betty Boop & Grampy
15. Judge for a Day
16. Making Stars
17. Henry the Funniest Living American
18. Little Nobody
19. The Little King
20. Not Now
21. Little Jimmy
22. We Did It
Extras include two bonus Fleischer shorts:
1. My Merry Oldsmobile
2. Finding his Voice

Betty Boop Volume 1 by Legend Films is a very good quality product
F.H.L. "SDFG" stated in his review, "None of the opening titles or the cartoons themselves appear cropped in any way". I beg to differ.

More Legend Films GARBAGE!!
Stay away from this release. It's nothing more more than the Republic Films Laser disc release from the the 1990's. A total Bootleg copy. Evan worse the end titles are edited out.
