Betty Boop for President is a 1932 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.
[edit] Synopsis
Betty runs for the office of President against Mr. Nobody. Both candidates state their platform through song and dance.
In answer to various problems and political issues, Mr Nobody consistently promises that "Nobody" will solve the problem. Betty's promises for improvements are shown, including door to door trolley stops and and improved conditions for keeping the streets clean. The clincher may be a scene that shows a weatherman putting up a giant umbrella to protect the whole city from rain.
Betty is voted into the White House by a landslide.
[edit] Notes and comments
The title was later used for a 1980 compilation film, Betty Boop for President: The Movie. While clips from other Betty Boop cartoons are featured, there are no clips from the 1932 short used in the 1980 film.
