This cartoon is really amazing if you think about the time it was produced, circa 1930's. It incorporates surrealist imagery, a song by Cab Calloway (which would be the equvilant of a pop star showing up in a cartoon and singing a hit song), and a new take on Snow White. The reason Cab Calloway shows up as a clown in "white face" is because the studio wanted to finish up his contract, but still owed him one more song; they gave it to him by putting him in a cartoon. The result is one badass Betty Boop Cartoon, I would say the best.
