Beetrices Sugar Spectrum

During Beetrices peak in popularity Bartlebee Brands commissioned stop motion animation studio Jarble Marble to animate a short movie featuring Beetrice on her adventures educating children about the ‘sugar spectrum’ 

This movie, filled with information that simply does not hold up today, aimed to inform the public on the health benefits of Bartlebee Brand products and further push Beetrice into the entertainment industry and thus expand their company. 

The movie was well received but from employee accounts the production of this film was extremely difficult for everyone involved. The deadlines were extremely tight and money became scarce near the halfway point of production, several workers walked out and resigned due to the stress of working for a director who had only worked in live action films prior to his animated debut. In addition Bartlebee Brands would continuously request changes on scenes that had been nearly finished and sections of the script were rewritten entirely during production.  

The hardships of working on this film can be pointed at as the core reasons for the eventual closing of Jarble Marble studios two years later. Bartlebee Brands would make one more attempt at a movie with Beetrice years after but this endeavor would be equally disastrous.
