![]() You can't turn on any of those shows and just "get it", and it's not because it's highbrow humor. I also don't like a lot of the series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. So what? That doesn't mean it's the most perfect show ever devised. ![]() I know some fanboys are going to sound off saying The Simpsons set the groundwork for all other animated prime time shows. ![]() I think South Park came along and kicked it's ass and I think even Family Guy came along and kicked it's ass. Several cartoons with Native American caricatures are also withheld.Beats me wrote:I've seen about 100 episodes of the Simpsons which is about 0.001% of it's episodes and I really don't get it's fanatical fan base, never did. The wartime 'toons Tokio Jokio, Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips and Hare Meets Herr aren't shown for obvious reasons. There are other Warner cartoons that are rarely shown as well. It's only in more recent years that the attitudes have changed towards that kind of caricature. The cartoons were well received at the time, even by the black community. He also noted that the jazz musicians who were caricatured in the 'toons were pleased with the fact they were in a cartoon. The Censored Eleven are Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land (1931), Sunday Go to Meetin' Time (1936), Clean Pastures (1937), Uncle Tom's Bungalow (1937), Jungle Jitters (1938), The Isle of Pingo Pongo (1938), All This and Rabbit Stew (1941), Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves (1943), Tin Pan Alley Cats (1943), Angel Puss (1944) and Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears (1944).īob Clampett, who directed Coal Black and Tin Pan Alley Cats defended both 'toons as not being racist, but showing the normal caricatures of the style of animation they used. Known as the Censored Eleven, the 'toons are noted for what deemed to be offensive black stereotypes. Since then, none of these cartoons have been shown on televison and have only been exhibited once since then. Bullfights aren't funny." Chuck immediately thought, "If Eddie says there's nothing funny about bullfights, there must be something funny about bullfights." And so Chuck made one of Bugs' best 'toons: Bully For Bugs.Īfter Tex Avery left Schlesinger for more money at MGM, he was working on a Three Little Pigs parody called The Blitz Wolf, with the brick-house pig called Sergeant Pork and the wolf a parody of a German man with the initials "A.H." Producer Fred Quimby told Tex to take it easy on the cartoon, because "we didn't know who was going to win the war."ĭid you know that Warner Bros made some dubious cartoons-one of which was a take on Snow White called Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves - no need to tell you what that could have been like, that language alone is a dead giveaway and I doubt would be able to be shown even today.Įleven Warner/Schlesinger cartoons were withheld from circulation by United Artists in 1968. One day, Chuck Jones had sketched a picture of a bull when Eddie Selzer, Warner's animation producer, saw it and said, "I don't want no bullfight pictures. Those toons came about when Chuck Jones thought, "What if there were no sheepdogs, just dogs who guard sheep?" And in the 'toons with Sam the Sheepdog, Wile changes species and becomes Ralph Wolf. I think 4 Bugs-Wile 'toons were made, and Wile has some of the best lines ever in Warner Cartoons. However the Coyote does speak in several cartoons where he is chasing Bugs Bunny- ".and I'm a genius, whereas you can hardly pass the exams to kindergarten!" and when he is filling carrots with nitro-glycerin he utters "Wile E Coyote.Super genius, I like the way that rolls out, Wile E Coyote.sooper geniuus!" OR when he is filled with ego "Gad! I'm SUCH a genius!" I think you can add that the Coyote DID speak but as another character Sam with a red nose(with a sheepdog called Ralph) in another series of short cartoons where the Coyote's job is to steal sheep and the Sheepdog tries all manner of means to thwart him-at the end of the day a whistle blows and walk off as friends rather than enemies.
