the productiion codes were aimed more at anything considered sexual in nature, at least as far as cartoons were concerned. If smoking was a no-no, then why was smoking shown repeatedly in many cartoons up through the 1960's? I remember seeing smoking many times in cartoons like loony toons (bugs bunny), Tom and Jerry, and disney too.

@CrystalOtep There was no reliable source for this silly hysteria.

@NickXCIII But(t) it's not the real contour of hips from the rear. It's more like a crotch line, not a "crack line."

@NamiNeko888 In a way yes, in other ways not quite. They were more discrete and subtle about it. Today, people are too blatant about it to the extent that it's boring and frankly more offensive than any of this material, which was clever and imaginative.

@Sonoraman The cartoon was not "Banned" for this. However, such things were on a forbidden list once The Production Code came into being the following year.

@tomitstube The cartoon was not banned. PERIOD!

@tomitstube There are no "racist" overtures in this cartoon. You need to look at it again, if you haven't already. As for bringing in the "Christian" aspect, that has no application here since the cartoon is secular. While the Fleischers were of a Jewish background, they did not practice the faith, with many of their offspring marrying Christians. This sort of mixing of cultures, ethnic groups, and races is, and has been a part of American since its beginning.

@bartist11 None. I think you are on the wrong page, pardner!

@OmgKCool They continue to do so. Since cartoons were featured in Men's magazines like PLAYBOY, it needs to be understood that cartooning is not strictly a juvenile medium. There were actual pornographic animated cartoons made in the 1920s that were far more imaginative than what has been attempted in recent years. So Animation is just as much of a serious medium as live action films, which are thought to be geared towards adults, but don't always these days.
A true beautiful Classic

@TheSprinklez124 Why do you think that cartoons like this are children's entertainment? It's not your fault since much of the public has been so brainwashed by the Disney domination. But their current product is not so innocent.
