Made in 1934 by Max Fleischer, this retelling of the “Cinderella” story is the only color Betty Boop short made during the characters tenure with Fleischer. The film was made with a two-color process. You see, everyone’s favorite, scheming uncle, Walt Disney, had secured the exclusive animation rights to Technicolor’s three-color process, so Fleischer was forced to use a weaker two-color method.
That’s the reason Betty has red hair, by the way. It’s the only time she does, but Fleischer wanted to make the best of the limited color palette available through the two-color process.
