🖤 Minnie the Moocher (1932) A Fleischer Studios masterpiece that changed animation forever. Featuring jazz legend Cab Calloway, this pre-Code classic opens with a rare live-action performance before melting into pure surrealism. Using rotoscoping, animators traced Calloway’s movements to create the hypnotic, snake-like dance of the ghostly walrus—one of the most iconic images of early animation. The cartoon follows Betty Boop, newly established here as a fully human star, as she runs away from

In 1933, Fleischer Studios released the Betty Boop short “Snow-White,” featuring an unforgettable performance of “St. James Infirmary Blues” by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra. To create the film’s haunting dance sequence, animators used an early technique called rotoscoping — tracing over live-action footage of Calloway himself, frame by frame. His signature glide and ghostly energy gave the cartoon its surreal rhythm and made this one of the earliest fusions of jazz and animation. | WBGO
