The Saint James Infirmary Blues sequence is one of my favorite animated scenes of all time.

great animation!

The St. James Infirmary underworld sequence alone has to earn this full marks.

Quite possibly the best animated short ever.

I'm 12 years old and what is this?

Betty Boop won't ever be "irrelevant" in US animation. Shut up animation students who got into the business because of the Little Mermaid and Aladdin.

The first four minutes are forgettable, but when "St. James Infirmary Blues" kicks in... Wow. Deserves the hype, that's for sure.

Fantastically bizarre.

If the beginning was weirder or funnier, I might have liked it as much as (or more than) Minnie the Moocher.

Utterly bizarre, but that's the best part of it. Cab Calloway's rotoscoped performance as Koko the Clown singing "St. James Infirmary" is a highlight. Be sure to watch the scrolling background behind Koko during this part, there's some truly disturbing and interesting imagery.

I dunno. I could give this movie a full 100 just for the fact it has the best version of St. James Infirmary Blues ever made. But I'll guess it's 90 this time.

Funny and creative.

Stupid in the beginning but really great at the end. Cab Calloway rules.

Snow-white gets the Betty Boop treatment and is injected with surreal weirdness. The song is so central here that it is almost like a Cab Calloway music video. To me Calloway is one of the greatest singers that ever lived, so his inclusion gives the already great Betty Boop a big boost.

This cartoon pretty much encapsulates everything you'd need to know about the difference between Fleisher and Disney, as well as East Coast vs. West Coast animation style. A truly bizarre little acid-trip of a short.

funny stuff, betty boo the hottest comic babe ever...

The best short cartoon ever made -- by any studio -- bar none.

Nice short.
