Betty Boop Minnie The Moocher feat. Cab Calloway and his orchestra (1932)
Betty Boop Minnie The Moocher (1932). In the cartoon, after a disagreement with her parents, Betty runs away from home, accompanied by her boyfriend Bimbo, only to get lost in a haunted cave. A ghostly walrus (rotoscoped from liveaction footage of Calloway), sings Calloway s famous song Minnie the Moocher, accompanied by several other ghosts and skeletons. This haunting performance sends the frightened Betty and Bimbo back to the safety of home. Minnie the Moocher served as a promotion for Calloway
