@gnikcohs Well not exactly black Africans, rather black people from the American South living in Africa.

Ub Iwerks has a secure place in the history of cartoons as a genius, but you wouldn't know it from this, racist or not.

BTW the original Sambo was a Tamil boy, but THIS Sambo, and his Mom, are not, they are black Africans. And furthermore the story here is hardly the same as the original tale, just the name Sambo and association with a tiger are the same.

Until the 70s there was actually a pancake house chain here in WA named "Sambo's" and the menus featured the story/legend of lil black sambo.

I watched this again, trying to understand why some are so offended by it. I don't think you should be. Consider the era: the mother was typical of any housewife back then, and her happy little boy saved the day. Features are always exaggerated in cartoons. Yes, it could be Dennis the Menace and would be the same, except for the powder - a minor offense. It's a cute cartoon about a loving family and was not meant to be offensive. As for "Sambo", even that may not have been offensive back then.

@haitipi Why do you call the tiger his friend?

[Stephen10528]

Very different from the story Little Black Sambo.

@haitipi Equatorial Africa most certainly has jungles.

thank god i was raised a white guy in this generation; i mean if i became an animator back then instead of now, i would've made some pretty racey cartoons ill bet.
