A Walrus Ghost with Fancy Moves
Monday October 15th, 2007, 4 years, 7 months and 1 week ago
Now where are you ever going to see a spectacle like this other than in a bizarre Max Fleischer cartoon? In the lead up to Halloween, here’s one of my very favourite cartoons from the 1930s. Betty Boop runs away to a haunted cave to the soundtrack of Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway sung by the ghost of a walrus – truly surreal! Check out Cab’s moves at the beginning.
You can download it from the Internet Archive where you’ll find a wealth of amazing stuff – I practically live there!

lol.. I think I own that ink bottle =x
(and I might actually have one of those pens too..)
Fantastically surreal isn’t it?
Completely surreal. My player seized up halfway through but wow… and Cab had some MOVES.
Thanks for the memories.
Hi Helen! Cab certainly does have the moves! Hope you got to see the walrus before your player seized!
And you’re welcome Linda…I remember these old cartoons from when I was a kid in the early-70s. They were still shown regularly on TV back then…pity they’re not anymore.
