About Betty Boop: The Scared Crows (1939)

The Scared Crows is a 1939 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.

Betty Boop tries some spring planting, but the crows spoil everything so she makes herself a scarecrow and shoos off the birds but during the process a crow is injured, as it hits a tree. Betty picks the crow up and puts him into a basket. She asks Pudgy to take care of him. But soon Pudgy grows sleepy and goes off to sleep. When the crow is left unguarded it became conscious and calls the rest of his herd in to a house for a "party" as soon as Pudgy is woken up by one of the crows (who threw an eaten apple).
