Betty Boop used to be a French Poodle when they first introduce her. Then in 1932 she became a human.

I love 'Bimbo's Initiation'. It's got every gag in the book and a swell soundtrack to boot.

So awesomely wierd! I love the perspective effects. Even better, I love how the song over the opening credits suggest a jolly romp where Bimbo and his Frat brothers have a party - then mere seconds in we get creepy little Morlocks, sharp scary things, and dog-eared Betty Boop. The Fleishers might have had some issues they needed to work out here. Poor Bimbo!

This cartoon was actually the first time I ever heard the Tiger Rag, starts at 4:22 and builds up to a pretty hot finish. A lot of these old cartoons had really great jazz orchestras on the soundtracks.

I didn't know horror movies were animated at the time!

My sister didn't believe me when I told her that Betty Boop was originally a dog. It's not that surprising, she looks like every other cartoon animal of the era, just with littler ears.

Who else Is from Game Theory?

This cartoon was just… sick. At the times. And today. Now and then. Great animation and the script could seem pointless. Anyway, some could see in this "initiation" a more deeper message (manipulation of the masses - "don't worry, be happy", forget your freewill and be forced to happiness - hence the clear reference to Mickey Mouse at the beginning). Impressive stuff.

You can’t get good cartoons like this now days

Damn, some of the "3D" sets look like CGI in this, but obviously that's just hard work done by hand. Really amazing stuff.

I feel this was Max Fleischer's reaction when Disney hired on a bunch of his animators from his studio.

Fascinating. Thanks for uploading it.

what a trippy initiation! i would of been a member before any of that began

My favorite cartoon of all-time! Notice the repeated "Skull and Bones" motif, the exclusive Yale University secret society which had Prescott Bush 1917, George Herbert Walker Jr 1927, George Herbert Walker Bush 1948, George Herbert Walker III 1953, & George Walker Bush 1968 as members - also John Forbes Kerry 1966

Illuminati everywhere...check the song. "We are the members of do it or die, THE EYE THE EYE THE EYE. Watch us make Bimbo as easy as pie, THE EYE THE EYE THE EYE. We are tough you bet, filled with college pep, bring him on we cry, THE EYE THE EYE THE EYE." And those guys saying..wanna be a member wanna be a member, and the masks and candles (illuminati symbol) skull & bones door, the number 13 and the skeleton.

I just want to thank my dad for getting me into old animation. I've always been fonder of older animations their much funnier and I love the more oldish style.

Anyway, I'm fully aware of the way the Fleichers operated, and how their "if it can happen in real life, it isn't animation" belief, oppose to drugs, was the chief inspiration of their surreal style. I didn't realize though how much input the animation team had, I thought the whole thing was just storyboarded by a few crazy guys, and then everyone simply copied their instructions. Your point certainly explains a lot of the cartoons wonderful, random nature, and I'm glad to know that.

6 minutes of fear and lots of pain just for dancing with half nude woman for 22 seconds !!will at least his pain has ended he got a little something !

Definitely a nightmare but amazing animation for the times...beyond crazy imagination.

"We are the members of 'do it or die'". I think I know what Bimbo is being initiated into here. But he doesn't, not till the end. This pre-code stuff is the freak. P.S. 57 people don't wanna be a member.

When Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder go through that hellish roller coaster ride, bits were inspired frame for frame by this cartoon. The episode in question of AOSTH, "RobotnikLand!"

Probably the most famous of the Bimbo cartoons, and containing an early Betty Boop when she was a dog. It clearly shows that cartoons were intended for more an adult audience than for kids. Some of the animation is a bit stiff, because Fleisher Studios slipped a bit when talking film came in and it took a few years to get the quality up that we see in 1930's Popeye.

“Wanna be a member” Secret society with (illuminating) lights on their head trying to recruit using fear, illusions and finally Bimbo’s sexual appetite. All put into motion by one cartoon mouse. Mmmmmm, interesting

Um... well... at least he's happy?

Also Daniel for posting this but anyways when he tried to lift himself off the floor anyone else hear bimbo say oh shit?

Wow... that end was seriously incredibly creepy

The cigarette ads ran during the end of the episodes for the first 2 seasons of The Flintstones. At first the show was not for kids. They had a lot of references to other shows for adults popular at the time. Then Pebbles was born and the show changed it's sponsor to Welch's and it became more family friendly. Animation was not always didn't always have a specific age group in mind. One old 30s Betty Boop short has Betty hula dancing almost topless (she wears a lei.)

Hey, I remember they made a feature-length live-action adaptation of this cartoon. Quite recently, in fact! It's a bit obscure; I think it was called Saw or something.

this is rather inspiring

does a good job at both scaring one half of the population keeping them from asking certain questions, while sending the other half down endless rabbit holes where they find just another door after every door opened while they chase an answer that doesnt exist, only to find themselves in a world of insanity then death. only a small amount understand that these mysteries are created to ensure that the masses never realize that they are slaves, working their lives away, rather than appreciating the short life theyve been givin.

Those traps are really elaborate. It's like I Wanna Be The Guy was made into a Depression-era cartoon.

Although The Flintstones were used to advertise cigarettes, it doesn't mean they were directing it just at adults. They were for sure subliminally selling cigarettes to kids, because they recognized that kids watched that show and if their favorite characters were smoking a certain brand, when they grew up, they were more likely to buy that same brand. Same thing happened with Joe Camel.

A cartoon from around my time... neat!!

I dont know why but its so grotesque. its likely to come out even in a dream.

Back in the early 30's Mickey Mouse was incredibly popular and clones of him would appear in many other studios cartoons, some more obvious than others. The mouse in this cartoon may have had the audience cheer like an audience does today when an unexpected cameo appears. Walt Disney soon put a stop to it, but its fun to see even now.

Disturbing. I wish I could unsee that.

now thats some antique initiation right there.
