Betty Boop's Rise to Fame
Max Fleischer is interviewed by a reporter (played by brother, Dave) about animated films. Max draws Betty Boop, who 'comes to life; manipulates objects on the desk and interacts with the live actors. Max sets up a series of backgrounds from older Betty cartoons and Betty goes through her routines for the benefit of the reporter.

The only Fleischer film in which Max and Dave Fleischer both appear live and credited.
Notoriously, Betty briefly exposes her breast in this pre-code short, during the hula-sequence, but be ready with the freeze-frame, because it only lasts 1 frame.
Much of the non-interactive animation recycles footage from earlier BB shorts.
Check public domain compilations for this short.
