Betty Boop is the titular main character of the animated theatrical shorts by Fleischer Studios who debuted in the 1930 short Dizzy Dishes. Originally drawn as an anthropomorphic female dog, she was eventually given a new design as a female human by animator Grim Natwick while still retaining her short black hair, blue eyes and a baby voice. Following the creation of the Hays Code in 1934, the Betty Boop shorts had to be toned down to comply with the code and Betty was given new co-stars in place of Bimbo and Koko the Clown such as her inventor grandfather named Grampy, a nephew named Junior, a new boyfriend named Freddy, and a pet dog named Pudgy. Although the series ended in 1939, Betty eventually received more audiences in later years through television, home video, merchandise, two original television specials and a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
In her Halloween theatrical short Betty Boop's Hallowe'en Party, Betty hosted a Halloween party at her house and invited her friends to come over and celebrate it until a gorilla gate crashed it. So, she and her friends give the beast the big scare at the end of the short.
