And all that Jazz!
Description
The first use of jazz music and jazz musicians in film dates from the "Betty Boop" cartoons of the early 1930s. Betty was the creation of the Fleischer brothers, Jewish immigrants from Austria, who set out to challenge Walt Disney. Betty is, along with Popeye and Superman, the best known of their creations.
Betty Boop introduced jazz music to the movies. Several Betty Boop cartoons used jazz songs, not simply as background music, but for style of movement. That style is captured perfectly in this 3 inch tall figure of Betty Boop singing Cab Calloway's song "And all that Jazz!"
