this got banned.... no wonder i only saw this once on boomerang sometimes they show bugs bunny not anymore sorry.. and why it got banned for rassistem because they turned black at the end and that was kinda making fun of the black
oy...it kinda hurts to watch now but the thing is...you never notice it as a kid. then you grow up and you're like oh shit...that's horrible! oh well. what can you do, ya know?
Things change. 50-100 years from now, the racial slurs and sexual references in today's music and movies will seem weird and confusing unless our great-grandkids are taught what they mean.
Thanks for uploading this cartoon! It's a real shame that it's censored to begin with. Coming to terms with our national past should involve an unvarnished look at it, not denial. And someone's gone too far in deeming this offensive. Most people today probably don't even recognize the final scene as minstrel or understand the significance of the long-gone minstrel shows. Furthermore, while minstrel as an artform did play up black stereotypes, there's nothing of the kind in this cartoon.
holy shit this bring's back memories. I remember watching this when I was two and not understanding what the hell was going on. Especially at the end. I thought that was an art error or something.
So if it were true that blacks could only make a movie if they made fun of them selves, then it would be as a direct result of the black audience wanting it to be.
But as I say, I don't believe that to be the case, we are just fun loving people... at least we were at that time in history before we started blaming slavery for everything.
I've never known slavery, and I don't know of any blacks who are still alive from the civil war in the 1800's.
Oh I see, well being black myself I've made a pretty extensive study of such - you have to keep in mind that at that time in history not many blacks would go to see a white movie and not many whites would go to a black movie so the target audience for any movie would be of the race that was primarily used in the film. (most black movies were all black)
Wow this is racist they sure make white people look stupid with that Elmer Fudd getting out smarted by a rabbit.
I'm black and I think the ending is great, it shows my heritage, I come from a musical family that started in Dixie land just after the civil war. This is true to history my friend... people need to wake up to the facts. Try making the future better by living right with your fellow man instead of trying to rewrite history...
I agree. Some cartoons are really racist, like "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves", but this is NOT racist! Just because they show blackface, doesn't mean it's offensive. Actually, pretty much the only way to portray people in cartoons is to stereotype them. they stereotype Americans all the time, as pompous doofs, like Elmer Fudd, or western Americans, like Yosemite Sam, but suddenly it's not okay to even mildly and inoffesivly stereotype blackface for an innocent, satirical cartoon? Sheesh!
Yeah, stereotyping races in the old cartoons wasn't seen as an issue back then. I understand how people can find some of this stuff offensive, but they need to keep in mind that this wasn't exactly made in current times.
Coal Black ain't racist! You offend film scholars! That cartoon is a jazzy treasure and should not be hated. Same for "Tin Pan Alley Cats" and "Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat"
they're making fun of a race's features all your examples are just people who are supposed to act dumb just for entertainment. that's why it's racist.
they changed the ending later because it was racist. when they turn brown and start singing dixie it's supposed to represent slaves. there are some episodes of bugs bunny that came out during WWII that were banned because they negatively depicted japanese people
Ohhh! I was wondering why that last part with them singin' Doo-Dah was taken out! I remember this was on June Bugs on Cartoon Network and they just showed Bugs singing 'I wish I wasn't Dixie' before the credits rolled! Thanks for clearing that up, dude!
Directed by Isadore "Friz" Freleng, this is one of the last of the "Fat Elmer Fudd" appearances in late 1942. "Phew-phew" is a wolf whistle {what DOES that key lead to, that Bugs KNOWS about??}. The "minstrel show" ending has been deleted from TV for years!
I saw the black face. And I remembered when they started censoring it, I was like...wait, something is missing. I was a little kid so I didn't know why they took it off.
The version I saw was when Bugs sang, "I wish I was in Dixie," then it went to the end card (unless that's what you meant). Then I heard of a version where the cartoon ended after Bugs let Elmer arrest him (it might have been an edit done by a local TV station).

in a mostly black folk movie called "Stormy Weather" (1943) the black folks put on black face too just to be funny, guess they thought it was funny.
