Branca de Neve
Animation Director
O problema começa quando o espelho mágico da rainha diz que Betty Boop é mais bela. Um filme da série Betty Boop considerado sua obra-prima e um marco importante da Era de Ouro da animação americana. Levou seis meses para ser concluído. A crítica considera que o filme tem algumas das animações e desenhos de fundo mais imaginativos dos artistas do Fleischer Studios. Mae Questel interpreta as vozes de Betty Boop e da rainha Olive Oylish e Cab Calloway é a voz de Koko the Clown, cantando "St. James Infirmary Blues". A dança de Koko (incluindo alguns movimentos que parecem um "passo da lua") durante o número "St. James" é rotoscopada a partir de imagens de Cab Calloway. O filme foi considerado "culturalmente significativo" pela Biblioteca do Congresso dos Estados Unidos e selecionado para preservação no National Film Registry em 1994. Nesse mesmo ano, foi eleito o 19º entre os 50 Maiores Desenhos Animados de todos os tempos.
