Amazing when you think of how many individual hand painted cells went into that production. Mickey Mouse is mentioned in the credits at the beginning, taking credit for I'm not sure what. I'm sure some on TERB will complain the goddess is overdressed....
Disney adaptation of the Greek legend of Hades and Persephone.It's in French, but the pictures are in English.
Another one literally based on racial stereotypes. I'm not sure this one was even allowed on TV when I was a kid over 60 years ago. This kind of thing (UNjust cartoons) had a lot more influence on kids than Kate Smith...
This isn't the complete cartoon, but it does have the Mahatma Ghandi cameo at the end.
People get extremely touchy these days about what you show their kids and TV stations have standards. Can't see Popeye vs. the Indins getting past either one. For adults, though, it's excellent social context. My Mom didn't want me watching The Three Stooges because of all the hitting, now I just love the stuff...If people are offended by old cartoons, they should not watch them. They really don't have the right to decide that other people should not be allowed to see them. Sanitizing the past was Winston Smith's occupation at the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, a book teens no longer read in grade nine English class.
Only 'short bus' kids try to imitate what they see in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but many otherwise intelligent kids injure themselves severely each year when pretending to be professional wrestlers. Keep in mind that the classic cartoons of the 1930's to 60's were shown in movie theaters, for adult audiences. Television marketed them to children.
There shouldn't be any kids on this board. If there are, it isn't old cartoons that will corrupt their minds.People get extremely touchy these days about what you show their kids and TV stations have standards.
