Surely a character who's been iconic since the 1930s deserves a fresh look? Betty Boop was created as a minor character in the Talkartoon series but quickly became so popular that she was given her own show. Despite her incredibly sexualised appearance, she was characterised as a sweet, innocent flapper girl who was constantly rejecting the advances of the men around her. She sang, she had a boyfriend called Bimbo, and her face (and body) has launched a thousand drag acts. A Boop for the modern era would be a socialite; a Kardashian type with a lot of heart. She evolved through the 30s from a lost flapper to a modern career woman (and her skirt length evolved with her). A new Boop would be Sophia Vergara and Cher from Clueless and your sweetly naive friend wrapped up in one tiny dress. And just think of the merchandising, studios!
