Synopsis: Considering that Betty Boop cartoons are over 70-years old, they look good for their age (including Betty). Most versions we see today were edited for television to meet morality code standards and distributed by U. M. & M. TV Corp. The cartoons themselves were mostly Paramount releases. Betty ran between 1931-1939 and several titles have fell into public domain though Viacom is supposed to be the official owner of Betty.
