This is "Snow-White", the Betty Boop version. Maybe it's her most famous cartoon. She existed already a couple years when this one was made over 80 years ago. I guess the reason why this one here is so well-known is probably the popular material. However, I have to say this has nothing on the classic animated "Snow White" film that was done a couple years later. If the story wasn't so famous, you would not even understand most of it in here I am certain. There are some decent references, including the dwarfs, the evil step-mom or the glass coffin, but all in all it's just not enough. I may be slightly biased here as I have never been the greatest Betty Boop fan admittedly. The director is Dave Fleischer, quite a legend, in fact, and May Questel should also be known to people with an interest in early cartoons. But the best thing about this 7-minute black-and-white cartoon to me was Cab Calloway. Great singing voice really, but not enough to make this film worth a watch in my opinion. Not recommended.
