Thread Name: Betty Boop in Barnacle Bill
Subject: RE: Betty Boop in Barnacle Bill
What a fascinating amalgam. Did Walt Disney know that Mickey Mouse unmistakeably appears early on among the crew, in a film made by another studio two years after Mickey had first appeared in his Steamboat Willie (1928)? All sorts of other echoes kept loading my mind down -- like the verse from The Rambling Sailor. "With my false heart and flattering tongue, I'll court them all and marry none, I'll court them all both old and young...".
Just going back to play it again, to see what other references or apparent plagiarisms might appear.
Boopie-doop-doop!
