At their peak, Betty Boop cartoons were hardly fare for children, often straying into bawdy humor geared toward adults. The character herself—officially only 16 years old—often fended off unsolicited male attention in these cartoons. Starting in 1934, however, the cartoon was censored under the Production Code and became more child-friendly, though the censorship probably also contributed to the decline in her popularity.
