Art or Pornography?

"Unlike Disney, Fleischer Studios' only real competitor at the time, Fleischer allowed several racy images and scenarios to enter his cartoons. In several cartoons, Betty loses the top of her dress ('Any Rags'-1932 and 'Poor Cinderella'-1934), exposing a frilly strapless bra, and in others her skirt flies up ('Dizzy Red Riding Hood'-1931 and 'Barnacle Bill'-1930.) You can even catch a glimpse of her breast in 'Betty Boop's Rise To Fame', while she changes into her hula outfit, but only if you look quickly (The scene lasts only 1/24th of a second.) In the same picture, she performs the hula dance with only a strategically placed flower lei to cover her chest. In a couple of cartoons ('Mysterious Mose'-1930 and 'The Old Man of the Mountain'-1933), Betty loses her dress completely, but is conveniently hidden behind a tree or in her bed. Very often Betty's curved silhouette could be seen through her clothing as she passed before a fire or other light. By 1935, in the era where sitcom married couples slept in separate beds, Betty was toned down. Her skirt was lengthened and her strapless dress given a top and short sleeves. Thankfully, today censors are not so strict, and Betty has returned to her former self."
