Betty Boop, The Old Man Of The Mountain - 1933
The Old Man of the Mountain (1933)
The Old Man of the Mountain is a 1933 animated short in the Betty Boop series, produced by Fleischer Studios. Featuring special guests Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, the short was originally released to theaters on August 4, 1933 by Paramount Productions. Calloway voices all of the characters in the cartoon save for Betty herself (talking voice provided by Bonnie Poe; singing voice provided by Mae Questel). Calloway, along with his orchestra, also perform all of the music in the cartoon, including two songs Calloway co-wrote. The villagers are scared of the terror who lives in the heights until Betty Boop arrives with an air of indifference to the local bogeyman whom she is soon to entice to his just deserts.
-In the original Cab Calloway song "The Old Man of the Mountain", the Old Man himself is described as a harmless eccentric, but, for the purposes of the cartoon, the song was changed to make the character seem more malevolent.
-He has three children by a Hippo lady which he impregnated; when Betty asks her "What's a matter?", the Hippo replies, "The Old Man of the Mountain!" while walking down the mountain crying with her three snaggle-toothed, bearded children (Which would indicate that the Hippo lady went up to the mountain before Betty and came back down with 3 children).
-His quote is referenced in the Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas by Oogie Boogie.
-The Miser from Betty Boop Big City Adventures: The Ultimate Game of Pursuit is similar to the Old Man of the Mountain.
