It’s an equal opportunity offender - and man, that jazz score. Well, that’s not totally true, but at least the short makes fun of everyone, from blacks to the Japanese to midgets to white people (“So White”) to “refoogies,” which I assume is a Jew joke. Once you get past the “Coal Black” thing, it’s not… that bad.
Title: “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs” (1943) They have been unofficially uploaded online, though, along with four other controversial clips from other cartoons that will likely never appear on your DVR. Basically, they’re really, really racist (or RAYCESS, as it were), and to this day, they’ve never been broadcast or officially released on DVD.
They were deemed too inappropriate to air on TV. But then I saw some shorts that I didn’t remember ever being on TV, with titles like “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs” and “Uncle Tom’s Bungalow.” I had come across the infamous “Censored Eleven.”īack in 1968, a heap of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons were put into syndication by United Artists – with the exception of 11 shorts made between 19. gang, and going through them on YouTube was like being seven years old all over again, minus the bowl of Sprinkle Spangles cereal. So I did what I often do when I get mad at “Family Guy”: I watched Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies clips online.Ī childhood doesn’t count unless you’ve watched a ton of cartoons starring Bugs Bunny and Foghorn Leghorn and the rest of the Warner Bros. It was so lifeless, expressionless, and oddly static, as if the animators were more interested in background continuity than doing anything interesting with the background. It had nothing to do with the lazy writing, terrible jokes, or Peter being an overly cruel oaf I’ve gotten used to be irritated at all that. On Monday, when I watched the previous night’s new episode of “Family Guy,” I got upset.
