Growing up, whenever we went to visit my grandmother, the only things that she would let us watch were old VHS tapes of Betty Boop cartoons and sometimes a Charlie Chaplin flick. I always felt a little unsettled and couldn't wait to go home.
Trivia: the reason Betty Boop looks so unsettling is because she was originally intended to be an anthropomorphized French poodle. Go here and skip to 5:40:

She doesn't work AT ALL as a dog-woman, but remove the obvious dog traits and you're left with ... well, a disturbing woman, but at least it's an improvement.
