Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Foreverisacastironmess This early Fleischer cartoon isn't one of my favourites of theirs and really isn't one of the most interesting or memorable shorts ever produced by the studio. I get that everyone has to start somewhere but the sound is really rough and grating on the ears, and the animation is just dull as heck and for me it's just a bit of a depressingly drab little effort. It's not fluid with its animation or as wildly inventive as the terrifically surreal animations that would later be put out, and it's clear that they were still honing their craft at the point of this short. Oh and Betty Boop more or less puts in her first ever very brief appearance in a bizarre form that's very different from what she'd look like by the time of her twelve cartoon or so. She has a hideous flappy mouth, an enormous bouncy behind, noodle arms, piggy snout, and drooping gross ears - suffice it to say that in her animated debut, Betty was most-definitely a dog! Some of her famous traits were there right from the start though, like the lilting voice and big eyes and shapely feminine legs. For the most part though it's hard to believe that the sassy ugly mutt that appears in this short would soon evolve into a wildly popular character that would at one point be america's sweetheart and an endearing icon of early animation to this day. That her first appearance is probably the most noteworthy aspect of this short really doesn't say too much for it.. There were far better Fleischer works yet to come, and this early stepping stone is probably of main interest to Fleischer and/or fans of vintage animation historia, only!

Michael_Elliott Dizzy Dishes (1930) ** 1/2 (out of 4)This is a somewhat forgettable short but it does have one historically important thing that makes it worth watching. The story is quite simple as everyone in the film is a dog character and we are treated to our main character, a waiter, who is falling behind at work. That's until he walks out into the lobby where we see what would be the first appearance of Betty Boop. DIZZY DISHES isn't all that good as there aren't any laughs and the story itself is nothing special. The reason people will want to watch this is that it does feature the first appearance of Betty Boop, although she doesn't look like she eventually would. She has dog ears here and is a lot taller than what most people think of her as. Fans of Betty will want to check this out even though it doesn't offer much else.

Mightyzebra ...Never in my life have I watched a Betty Boop cartoon - until today. I thought I could give this one a go, as this was Betty's debut and I wanted to see what she would be like.Betty Boop only appears in this odd and old episode for a little bit of it, but seems to be an important character. In this appearance she has dog ears, to attract the dog waiter who is the main centre of the episode. He is catering for a pub-type place with a stage for dancers (Betty Boop is a dancer and the waiter seems to dance for her later because he loves her so much). The main plot-line of the episode is the fact that the waiter is incredibly slow and everyone is waiting for him. The most stressed out customer is a rather big dog who wants roast duck. The waiter is just about to bring the roast duck to him until he is distracted by Betty Boop and dances with the duck (cooked and prepared).Anyhow, that's pretty much the plot of the episode. I thought it was cute, entertaining and one that I would watch again. As for Betty Boop, she was not a character to interest me enough (partly because she was not the main character), so I think I'll have to watch some newer episodes with her to have a better idea of her.I recommend this episode to people who like lots of arbitrary dancing and music in a short cartoon episode and to people who want to see Betty's first appearance - with dog ears. Enjoy "Dizzy Dishes"! :-)7 and a half out of ten.

Robert Reynolds While Fleischer cartoons are generally well-animated and thus worth watching from that standpoint, the only real point of interest is the comparatively brief look at Betty Boop-version 1.0. Originally, Betty Boop was conceived as a dog and gradually evolved into the Betty Boop most recognizable today. There isn't much to say about the short itself, as it's nothing terribly special. The gags are occasionally cute, but it isn't especially memorable for anything other than Betty. I've had waiters this bad before, however. Dizzy Dishes is on Betty Boop-The Definitive Collection, an excellent compilation. Maybe Popeye will receive similar treatment on DVD sometime before the heat-death of the universe. For completeists only.
