Filmography

Betty Boop was sold by Paramount Pictures to Harvey in 1958. Harvey had ideas and concept art for a new Betty Boop. In 1959, they made the first Betty model sheet. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, they held Betty's license. On May 15, 1980, Alfred Harvey and his brothers assumed control of "Betty Boop and her Gang" and moved Betty to Harvey Cartoons. As a result, lawsuits were brought. Harvey requested $10 million in damages in 1995. These third-party lawsuits over "who owned the rights" to Betty Boop stopped several "Betty Boop" reboot film and animated productions. In 2011, A.V.E.L.A., INC. was sued by Fleischer Studios, Aleva asserted that Harvey had given them the rights to Betty. The Fleischers lost the lawsuit, however the Fleischer Studios stated that they later were able to reclaim ownership of Betty Boop, by proving in court that they currently own the copyright.
