Excited for this, we need more Fleischer cartoons on blu ray! One thing I noticed about these is that according to this article, they are mostly going to be doing Betty Boop cartoons that are still under copyright, not the ones in the public domain (with one exception for volume 1, and I don't know about volume 2). That's good in a way since many of these don't show up on the public domain dvd collections, but I do hope that at some point they do a volume with some of the more memorable cartoons that are in the public domain, especially the surreal musical ones with Cab Calloway, like Snow White:


and Minnie the Moocher:


and The Old Man of the Mountain:


For anyone who's interested, the cartoons on Volume 1 are:

CHESS NUTS (1932)
BETTY BOOP, M.D. (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S BAMBOO ISLE (1932)
BETTY BOOP FOR PRESIDENT (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S PENTHOUSE (1933)
BETTY BOOP'S BIRTHDAY PARTY (1933)
BETTY BOOP'S MAY PARTY (1933)
BETTY BOOP'S HALLOWE’EN PARTY (1933)
BETTY BOOP'S RISE TO FAME (1934)
BETTY BOOP'S TRIAL (1934)
BETTY BOOP'S LIFE GUARD (1934)
THE FOXY HUNTER (1937)

And on volume 2:

DIZZY DISHES (1930)
BIMBO'S INITIATION (1931)
BOO-OOP-A-DOOP (1932)
BETTY BOOP LIMITED (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S BIZZY BEE (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S UPS AND DOWNS (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S MUSEUM (1932)
BETTY BOOP'S BIG BOSS (1933)
