A Language All My Own is a 1935 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.[1]

Synopsis

Betty flies to Japan to do a show, and sings the title number. She then dons a kimono, and sings it again in Japanese.

Notes and comments

  • The studio produced this short after discovering that Betty was very popular in Japan.[2] Animator Myron Waldman, worried that Betty's gestures might offend the conservative Japanese audience, asked a group of Japanese college students to review his work.[3]
