The Romance of Betty Boop, Bill Melendez, 1985
Those familiar with the Fleischer brothers original Betty might find her characterization in this 1985 television special jarring, though clearly pains have been taken to assure Mizz Boop retains her ba-doop (she's apparently based heavily on Grim Natwick's character sketches.)
Still, it's a cute special with some cool design, if you can step back from your strong expectations of what a Betty Boop cartoon is supposed to be (and deal with her cringe inducing sexy-talk.) The fey, louche, cross-eyed, butt-chinned Waldo VanLavish cracks me up.
Whatever happened to that Bimbo fellow? He seemed like such a nice young man.

Petites Causes, Grands Effets, O'Galop (Maurice Rossilon) 1912
With one other anti-booze film, Le circut de l'alcool(1912) and Pour résister à la tuberculose (1918)which suggests that one can "knock out" tuberculosis with fresh air and exercise rather than medicine.
Seems legit.
With subtitles and a more contemporary soundtrack.
