‘Boop!’ Review: This Cartoon of a Broadway Musical Is Stuck in Two Dimensions
Despite a strong lead performance by Jasmine Amy Rogers, fun songs and nifty designs, this cartoon of a show remains stuck in two dimensions.
She was created by men and animated by their fantasies, a slightly surreal character, with an oversized, babydoll of a head, bee-stung lips, curvaceous bod, and a cutesy voice with the coy catchphrase “boop-oop-a-doop.” Many know her now as a camp curiosity or, more likely, that Macy’s parade balloon. An interdimensional teleportation gizmo, invented by her eccentric co-star Grampy (Stephen DeRosa), sends Betty to the vibrantly colored world of 2025 Manhattan where she lands at a Comic Con convention, complete with its cosplaying crowd. Then there’s Trish’s Aunt Carol (Anastacia McCleskey), who is mayoral campaign manager for Raymond Demarest (Erich Bergen), a sleaze who gloms onto Betty’s popularity once her identity is revealed.
