(26,546 posts)5. You are right! Did a little research and found this:
One of their video projects is an AIDS awareness cartoon. The cartoon, produced by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners[10] and presented in the style of 1920's era animation, features the comically exaggerated sexual adventures of a cat named "Smutley" and ends with the message, "He has nine lives. You only have one. Protect yourself."[11] Posted on AIDES' YouTube channel on 16 March 2011, it has logged over 1.3 million views as of 3 June 2012.

Betty Boop toons where upskirt no underwear shots were snuck in. It was just a frame or two, so no one would notice without slowing the projector, but they did it just because they could.
Cartooning was a boring job back then.
And let us not forget just how randy Hollywood was in those days. Weinstein would have been lost in the crowd.
