@214LonestarStunna sadly at the time that's how most american cartoon illustrated black people, I say just america because I saw another cartoon from the 40's from another country (but I can't remember where it was over 25 years I've seen it) of black people depicted and they were drawn like normal people.
boy they sure got Kate Hepburn dead on! same thing with Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, and Eddie G. Robinson! but Fred Astaire's caricature is the greatest yet!
Is this racially offensive? I really think Cab Calloway and his jazz group is the least racially offensive depictions of African Americans in a 1930's cartoon!
This cartoon isn't shown on television anymore. Not just because of the blackface content (that Stepin Fetchit stuff is pretty unforgivable), but because, to anyone under the age of 70 or so, it's complete nonsense! Most of these people, and the jokes associated with them, are lost to time; most people will recognize the Marx Bros. and Laurel & Hardy, of course, but who the hell is Ned Sparks? Heck, I grew up thinking Edward G. Robinson was a WB cartoon character...
In order of 1st appearance: Katharine Hepburn Hugh Herbert Groucho Marx Harpo Marx Chico Marx Ned Sparks Joe Penner Donald Duck Charles Laughton Spencer Tracy Freddie Bartholomew W. C.

Why do people post, watch and comment on something that they obviously enjoy, and then yell racism? Is it a reason for the Dutch to feel superior? I see this over and over, but never an admission that the Dutch were heavily invested in slaving, and of course, apartheid. If you look at the state of the world, we simply do not have time for that sort of nonsense, I think most people know it, but someone has to continually stir the fire.
@TheMegaghost85 You can't apply today's standards to a 73-year old cartoon. Racist, yes, but not purposely so. It was the normal way of thinking about such things.
@mujerado no. i dont "like racism" or agree with how they PORTRAY blacks then. i just notice, almost every walt disney movie or cartoon walt disney made himself majority had racist overtones. but i dont like or hate. history is history. im proud to not be racist
@Moonstone2732 More or less in order: Katherine Hepburn, Ed Wynn (?) and a couple characters whose names I don't remember, the Marx Brothers, Charles Laughton, Spencer Tracey, Freddie Barthalomew, W. C. Fields, Charlie McCarthy, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edward G. Robinson, Greta Garbo, Al Jolson, Cab Calloway, StepIn Fetchit, Henry James (?), Fats Waller, Fred Astaire, Clark Gable, Joe E. Brown, and Martha Ray, You'll have to google them to find out more. All VERY famous in their time.
@ekeby ALSO the three girl horn players: Edna Mae Oliver, Mae West, & Zazu Pitts. Saxophone player with monocle: George Arliss. @others: girl in red dress is Martha Rae, not Judy Garland
@ekeby I thought the sax player with the monocle was Cedric Hardwicke. And when you said Henry James you meant Harry James. Henry James was an author.
@Cafeblanx long black dancer- Stephen Fetchit, horn player- Wallace berry, three female-Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Constance Bennett? (Mickey's Gala Premiere (July 1, 1933)
@Cafeblanx fool-Peter Lorre?,men at boat-Laughton,Bartholomew and ?,smoker-W.C Fields, puppet-famous hollywood puppet from 30's (can't remember the name), sing a song-eddie cantor,flute-Gable,Piano-Fats Waller, Red dress-Judy garland,banjo-can't remember(also seen at "Flip the Frog - Soda Squirt "),three female-Boswell sisters?...
try and look at the positive. this cartoon shows whites and blacks all hanging out together and even ends with a white chick (martha raye) giving a black dude (joe e. brown) a kiss. pretty liberal for the time...
At least Disney included us. And we looked silly yes, but that's like every other character there! The only thing that makes it racist is that most of the Black characters look the SAME, and that the woman who is the object of beauty to the Black man had a much lighter skin tone than he did. Still, I liked it.
@isnormalityareality They *were* old movie stars. Laurel and Hardy, Kathrine Hepburn (I've lost mah sheep. Really ah have), W. C. Fields, and the Marx brothers, to name a few. :)
Wooow lol I laughed sooo much people saying it's racist Duhh considering the time period and the fact that I think it's Disney it shouldn't be surprising but we have to realize unlike no when blacks have a choice to portray stereotypical roles back then they did not and to have on screen time with the liked of people in this short was HUGE Hattie said it best :"Why should I complain about making $700 a week playing a maid? If I didn't, I'd be making $7 a week being one."
Pero nada era dibertido hasta que los jazzeros empesaron a cantyar... de que se quejan? La unica que sobra es la que esta buscando las obejas... hija de puta!
It's funny...everyone says that in the past people were racist. Well sorry to dissapoint every one but take a look at the South Park series, racism then and now it's really no different, sadly, it still exists today.

But if people would calm down and think about this. This cartoon was one of the few place where blacks and whites could perform as equals. And a number of the actors in this cartoon such as Clark Gable were pro-Civil Rights. Absolutely a shame the censors refuse to allow it to be shown.
@Henryduckfan63 Stepin Fetchit actually appears twice, looking different each time. By the way, this could almost qualify as a lost Laurel and Hardy short, they're onscreen so much.
The word is "charactiture"... Certain physical and well known voice and actions are over done - I love this cartoon... most of the people's characters used in this cartoon were still around and I never heard of any of them being mad...
Now, that's what an animated Katharine Hepburn looks like. I don't get people who claim that B&tB's Belle was based on Hepburn... they look nothing alike.
Nice oldie cartoon, too bad Donald had only a minor part!!
To the idiots shouting 'racism';you all lack the brain cells in order to understand that was a DIFFERENT time period, do us all a favor and shoot yourselves.
I love how they imitate Katharine Hepburn in these cartoons (but I love even more to imitate her myself) X-P
"I've lost my sheep, rele' ah have. . .they were such love-le sheep, really they were. . ." I'm only 19, so the first time I saw this cartoon I only got like 2 or 3 of the references to the Hollywood actors/entertainers. But now I'm such a geek about classic movies from the 30's-50's, I recognized just about everyone! I love this cartoon (Rele' I do. . . .) ^_^
@FutureDJHero Don't forget Charlie McCarthy, Sir Charles Laughton, Martha Raye (they called her "The Big mouth."), Greta Garbo (who was supposed to have said: I want so much to be alone) and Billy and Bobby Mauch twins who played the bratty little boy in the movie Mutiny on the Bounty.
Cab Calloway and his Band as the Four and Twenty Blackbirds Wallace Beery as Little Boy Blue Fats Waller Edna May Oliver Joan Blondell ZaSu Pitts Clark Gable George Arliss Fred Astaire Stepin Fetchit Martha Raye Joe E. Brown
1 second ago Katharine Hepburn as Little Bo Peep Hugh Herbert as Old King Cole The Marx Brothers as the Fiddlers Three Ned Sparks as The Jester Joe Penner Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh[14] Spencer Tracy as Manuel[15] Freddie Bartholomew as Harvey Cheyne Jr.[16] W.C. Fields as Humpty-Dumpty Charlie McCarthy Stan Laurel as Simple Simon Oliver Hardy as The Pieman Greta Garbo as See Saw Margery Daw Eddie Cantor as Little Jack Horner
@yooka15 Cab Calloway and his Band as the Four and Twenty Blackbirds Wallace Beery as Little Boy Blue Fats Waller Edna May Oliver Joan Blondell ZaSu Pitts Clark Gable George Arliss Fred Astaire Stepin Fetchit Martha Raye Joe E. Brown
a real shame that these kind of cartoons don't exist anymore. these were the only ones that made me laugh ... there are no cartoons like the oldies -but goldies-
The Katherine Hepburn caricature was hilarious. "I lost my sheep. Really I had." XD And it was nice to see Donald Duck make a surprise appearance. "Ya wanna buy a duck?" Here's a listing of stars I saw: Eddie Cantor, Cab Calloway, Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Bros...
And all else aside, I bet Cab was as flattered as any of the rest by his depiction in the cartoon, assuming he saw it. I'd say Katherine had more to be offended about.
In fact, I think the most racist part wasn't even the depictions of the stereotypical cartoon blackfaces... it was probably what Katherine says after getting hit by the pie.
@beasst94 incorrect. racism was prevalent and segregation was the norm... legalized. amos n andy were portrayed on radio by white voice actors. black entertainers were in movies in separate sdegments from the rest of the white cast....that way in the south they could be cut out from the movie.
@soccergirl97979 when this cartoon came out hitler was barely background fodder! he waqs still making a name for himself... so that mustache did not yet have the negative connotation it has today.
@NatandGeorge racism exists today...its just back then film makers and radio were allow to show stereotypical representation of all minorities (a hangover from vaudeville). Jews, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics even English and French were show as physically exaggerated broadly accented clowns.
@NatandGeorge Yeah, luckily nowadays people can be just as racist as they ever were, but at least know how to talk in code about it. These representations of the past show how people ARE, and were openly expressing before they felt the need to say the same thing in code.
YOU RACISTS need to learn THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE! Obviously, the cartoon is "racial" (yes Disney paid homage to all the popular talent & artists in this toon). As far as a "cartoon" being racist, you need a good dictionary and an even better psychiatrist. You may also wish to consult the 1st amendment of the United States of America's Constitution; dealing with free-speech and censorship!
We ARE "considering the time period" and it's STILL racist! "Considering the time period " doesnt excuse anything. The black man who "dances a few" shufflin steps before tiring out is the old stereotype of sayin blacks were lazy shiftless, had big feets and just shuffled along. That was a cultural label ascribed to us, and yes, one should be upet by this. From a pure caricature standpoint I can appreciate the way the drawings are depicted being a caricature artist myself.
Hmm...... A black person with paws, blacks in a pie, and exaggerated black people...........yet it was o.k.. for a white woman to kiss a black man......... Where was Disney going with this? If kissing a black man is o.k, then why make everything else racist?
You people r too stuck in this racism thing. Enjoy the show and relax! The funniest thing is that you really can find it funny. This racism brainwashing has driven people crazy I have to say...
you gotta remember dudes that racism was a common deal even waner bros. were doing stuff like this. so it was a different time and you just gotta suck it up and move on
What is this equal opportunity? The thing is that thr opportunity is tilted towards the minorities. Answer this question- can they compete? no, that's why these words equal opportunity is a piece of cr.. so stop this sh..
Well it's Disney I mean what do you expect the guy was an anti-Semite....so the black stereotypes are sadly expected. I do see what you mean I mean if I was Cab Calloway I woulda been pissed everyone gets a pretty unique caricature and I get the same ol racist bullshit.
Do you at all know what Cab Calloway looked like. Yeah it's a caricature but painting a person brown giving them big lips because they are black and calling it a caricature just seems IDK lame to me.
@EmperessClaudia It wasn't just disney it was the time period, they saw blacks as lazy and not as our equals, unless they were playing music or singing. =/ (Im not racist) i'm just telling you how it was back in the 20-60s If you cant handle it, don't watch older cartoons/movies.
@daakuviory. Yes I did indeed know that, in fact it takes ten seconds to look up any racist cartoons done by all of the studios. So if i don't like it don't watch it. True at least i have that option but what about the people who were forced to sit in the balcony during the movies and did not have the same luxury. I'm just sayin.
There was no connotations made in this short that would suggest blacks were lazy.
You're confusing a negative stereotype with a caricature of a famous black movie star at the time.
The lazy dancer shown is based off of Stepin Fetchit, who was parodied in countless cartoon shorts at the time. He was well known for his roles which portrayed him as slow-witted.

The Katherine Hepburn caricature was hilarious. "I lost my sheep. Really I had." XD And it was nice to see Donald Duck make a surprise appearance. "Ya wanna buy a duck?" Here's a listing of stars I saw: Eddie Cantor, Cab Calloway, Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Bros...

I've lost my sheep. Really I have.
Katherine Hepburn is awesome. lol.
And all else aside, I bet Cab was as flattered as any of the rest by his depiction in the cartoon, assuming he saw it. I'd say Katherine had more to be offended about.
In fact, I think the most racist part wasn't even the depictions of the stereotypical cartoon blackfaces... it was probably what Katherine says after getting hit by the pie.

I love Laurel & Hardy, i also like the Marx Bros., Hugh Herbert, and Ned Sparks too
Simple Simon with Laurel & Hardy was always my favorite scene.

stop bitching and enjoy the cartoon
beasst94 1 year ago
@beasst94 incorrect. racism was prevalent and segregation was the norm... legalized. amos n andy were portrayed on radio by white voice actors. black entertainers were in movies in separate sdegments from the rest of the white cast....that way in the south they could be cut out from the movie.

@soccergirl97979 when this cartoon came out hitler was barely background fodder! he waqs still making a name for himself... so that mustache did not yet have the negative connotation it has today.

@rosrychaplet Although Hitler's mustache was perhaps more similar to Charlie Chaplin's.

People WERE racist in those days -- this is a peek into the PAST. . .
Instead of bemoaning the unchangeable past, be happy it is different today!

@NatandGeorge racism exists today...its just back then film makers and radio were allow to show stereotypical representation of all minorities (a hangover from vaudeville). Jews, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics even English and French were show as physically exaggerated broadly accented clowns.
diddymuck 9 months ago
@NatandGeorge Yeah, luckily nowadays people can be just as racist as they ever were, but at least know how to talk in code about it. These representations of the past show how people ARE, and were openly expressing before they felt the need to say the same thing in code.

YOU RACISTS need to learn THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE! Obviously, the cartoon is "racial" (yes Disney paid homage to all the popular talent & artists in this toon). As far as a "cartoon" being racist, you need a good dictionary and an even better psychiatrist. You may also wish to consult the 1st amendment of the United States of America's Constitution; dealing with free-speech and censorship!

We ARE "considering the time period" and it's STILL racist! "Considering the time period " doesnt excuse anything. The black man who "dances a few" shufflin steps before tiring out is the old stereotype of sayin blacks were lazy shiftless, had big feets and just shuffled along. That was a cultural label ascribed to us, and yes, one should be upet by this. From a pure caricature standpoint I can appreciate the way the drawings are depicted being a caricature artist myself.
TheSubwaysurfer 1 year ago
Hmm...... A black person with paws, blacks in a pie, and exaggerated black people...........yet it was o.k.. for a white woman to kiss a black man......... Where was Disney going with this? If kissing a black man is o.k, then why make everything else racist?

@WebVMan That was not a black man,It was Joe E Brown (big mouth) and Martha Raye (also big mouth) that was the humor.

Katherine Hepburn is HILARIOUS in every shot as Little Bo-Beep!
But does this cartoon really have to be banned? Why not just TRIM the video to a shortened/censored cut?
You can see more of Greta Garbo, and funnier, in "Hollywood Steps Out".
The ending part I don't really like as much.

I didn't see any comments mentioning the script on the "Roaring Duck" banner: "Ertznay to Ouyay"....Pig Latin for "Nertz [nuts] to You".
P.S. In a similar vein, there was an early Porky Pig cartoon entitled "Notes to You."

Well it's Disney I mean what do you expect the guy was an anti-Semite....so the black stereotypes are sadly expected. I do see what you mean I mean if I was Cab Calloway I woulda been pissed everyone gets a pretty unique caricature and I get the same ol racist bullshit.

@EmperessClaudia how is it racist if thats what people look like in real life?
and its a caricature anyway
beasst94 2 years ago
Do you at all know what Cab Calloway looked like. Yeah it's a caricature but painting a person brown giving them big lips because they are black and calling it a caricature just seems IDK lame to me.
EmperessClaudia 2 years ago
uh...
1938? You realize no one really cared about racism then?
Besides, i think the black guys were the coolest in this cartoon
Rubiksfanatic1 2 years ago 3
@EmperessClaudia It wasn't just disney it was the time period, they saw blacks as lazy and not as our equals, unless they were playing music or singing. =/ (Im not racist) i'm just telling you how it was back in the 20-60s If you cant handle it, don't watch older cartoons/movies.
daakuivory 2 years ago
@daakuviory. Yes I did indeed know that, in fact it takes ten seconds to look up any racist cartoons done by all of the studios. So if i don't like it don't watch it. True at least i have that option but what about the people who were forced to sit in the balcony during the movies and did not have the same luxury. I'm just sayin.
EmperessClaudia 2 years ago
There was no connotations made in this short that would suggest blacks were lazy.
You're confusing a negative stereotype with a caricature of a famous black movie star at the time.
The lazy dancer shown is based off of Stepin Fetchit, who was parodied in countless cartoon shorts at the time. He was well known for his roles which portrayed him as slow-witted.
