Editing Betty Boop (section)

===Contemporary resurgence===
The Betty Boop films were revived after Paramount sold them for [[television syndication|syndication]] in 1955. UM&M and [[National Telefilm Associates]] were required to remove the original Paramount logo from the opening and closing, as well as any references to Paramount in the copyright line on the main titles. However, the mountain motif remains on some television prints, usually with a UM&M copyright line, while recent versions have circulated with the Paramount-Publix reference in cartoons from 1931.

The original Betty Boop cartoons were made in black and white. As new color cartoons made specifically for television began to appear in the 1960s, the original black-and-white cartoons were retired. Boop's film career had a revival with the release of ''The Betty Boop Scandals of 1974'', becoming a part of the post-1960s [[counterculture]]. NTA attempted to capitalize on this with a new syndication package, but because no market existed for cartoons in black and white, they sent them to South Korea, where the cartoons were hand-traced frame-by-frame in color, resulting in the degradation of the animation quality and timing. Unable to sell these to television largely because of the sloppy colorization, they assembled a number of the color cartoons in a [[compilation film|compilation feature]] titled ''[[Betty Boop for President]]'', to connect with the 1976 election, but it did not receive a theatrical release.

The release of the films on video cassette for home viewing created a new market for the films in their original form. The [[AMC (TV channel)|American Movie Classics]] cable television channel showcased a selection of the original black-and-white Betty Boop cartoons in the 1990s, which led to an eight-volume VHS and LV set, ''Betty Boop, the Definitive Collection''. Some of the nonpublic-domain ''Boop'' cartoons copyrighted by Republic successor Melange Pictures (Paramount Global's holding company that handles the Republic theatrical library) have been released by Olive Films under Paramount's license, while the [[Internet Archive]] hosts 22 Betty Boop cartoons that are [[public domain]].
