So Does an Automobile is a 1939 Fleischer Studios animated short film directed by Dave Fleischer and starring Margie Hines as Betty Boop.[2]

Synopsis

[edit]

Betty operates an auto repair garage for sick and injured automobiles. Betty sings as she restores broken-down taxicabs, high-price limousines and restores a police car with sore and flat feet (tires) back to perfect condition again.

Notes

[edit]

Instrumental versions of the theme song for this cartoon were later used in Betty's next film, Musical Mountaineers, and later in the 1940 Popeye cartoon, Wimmin Hadn't Oughta Drive.
