Name	Minnie the Moocher

Name	Minnie the Moocher (1932)

Betty Boop decides to run away from her harsh parents, Mr. Boop and Mrs. Boop, to the tune of "Mean to Me", accompanied by Bimbo. While walking away from home, Betty and Bimbo wind up in a spooky area, and hide in a hollow tree. A ghost Walrus, whose gyrations were rotoscoped from footage of Cab Calloway dancing appears to them, and begins to sing "Minnie the Moocher", with many fellow ghosts following along. After singing the whole number, the ghosts chase Betty and Bimbo all the way back to Betty's home. While Betty is hiding under the covers of her bedsheets, her runaway note is torn up and the remaining letters read "Home Sweet Home".

• According to Max Fleischer, the cartoon features both the voices of Mae Questel and Margie Hines. However Hines' role could possibly be Mrs. Boop, as Max did not make it clear. He only referenced the singing, which as Betty seems to be that of Questel's vocals. The singing and voice-over for this cartoon was recorded on the 29th of October in 1931. 

• Betty's father Mr. Boop upsets Betty so much that she responds in song by claiming that she will eat worms and die.
