Boop-Oop-a-Doop is a Betty Boop cartoon released by Fleischer Studios on January 16, 1932 as part of their Talkartoons series. The short stars Betty along with her iconic friends, Bimbo the Dog and Koko the Clown.In this short, Betty and friends are circus performers. Betty sings, dances, and tames lions. Bimbo sells peanuts, and while Koko isn't shown performing, we can assume that he's a circus clown. During Betty's performance, the circus ringmaster starts to lust after her. Once the show is over, the ringmaster follows her to her tent and starts acting like a creep. Betty starts begging him not to harm her (through song.) Fortunately, Koko is just outside the tent. He hears Betty's plight and rushes in to save her.While many Betty Boop shorts are risque to an extent, this short is notable for how boldly they depict the villain being a creep to Betty. The short is also notable for having Betty fight back against him and making it clear that his behavior is absolutely unacceptable. | |

Reluctant Monster: While Betty is taming three lions, another lion sneaks up behind her menacingly. An audience member screams "Look out!" Then the lion stands up on two legs and says "Pardon me, you dropped your handkerchief" in a surprisingly non-threatening voice, and hands Betty her handkerchief with an innocent smile. | |
