Betty Boop: Minnie the Moocher (1932) is a classic Fleischer Studios cartoon, featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra in one of the earliest examples of live-action combined with animation.

The film opens with Cab Calloway performing St. James Infirmary before transforming into a ghostly walrus inside the animated sequence. Betty Boop, upset with her strict parents, runs away with her friend Bimbo. They encounter spooky skeletons, ghosts, and goblins as Calloway sings Minnie the Moocher. The surreal animation, music, and dark humor make this one of the most memorable Betty Boop cartoons ever made.

This short is widely recognized as a milestone in animation history and a masterpiece of the Jazz Age, blending music, horror, and comedy.
