I love how insane animators were in the 30s. Some guy just burst into the Betty Boop studio like “Guys, I got an idea: Betty runs away from home and is tormented by skeletons and evil spirits.” and someone replied “Ok, sounds swell. Should we score that with some spooky orchestral music? Pipe organs?” and the first guy said “No, I already have someone to do the music. It’s Cab Calloway, one of the most popular blues artists of all time. And we’re going to rotoscope a walrus ghost over him.” and everyone nodded and got to work

Cab Calloway reportedly slid out of his chair laughing when he saw that walrus ghost sequence, a mental image I shall always treasure. He came back for two more cartoons (“Snow White” and “The Old Man of the Mountain”).

And to be clear: it absolutely ruled.
