"Swing You Sinners!" is an 8-minute black-and-white sound cartoon from 1930 and it stars Betty Boop's best friend Bimbo, a star in his own right, even if more people know Betty today I guess. It is already over 85 years old and has Bimbo roam around at a cemetery which may not be a good idea at all as all kinds of inanimate objects start to live quickly and scare the crap out of poor little Bimbo. Story is really non-existent here, but that's nothing new for Bimbo/Betty cartoons. They live through the absurdity and also through the music and Fleischer delivered impressively in both areas. A very good watch for cartoon lovers and while Disney had skeletons dancing in their works, their competition show their class as well when it comes to a mix of horror and animation. i can very well imagine people back then found this actually scary. And they probably got in the groove here as I did too. Thumbs up.
