Yeah, gotta love Porky Pig just opening up every barn door in the area. :lol:

I just got around to watching those two propaganda cartoons (Hitler's Children and De Fuhrer's Face) from Disney. Would I get hounded if I said the "De Fuhrer's Face" song in the beginning was quite catchy and hilarious? :goof: Especially the men that say the lines "Ja (yeah) we are the superman" and "Super Duper Super Man" and the way they move.

Although the one playing the tuba, watching the HQ version, he looked white from a far distance until he took off his helmet and it turns out to be a caricature of Hirohito.
 
Thought I should bump this thread up after going through the back pages. Who remembers the original ending of this particular episode (which is usually cut off during syndication):

No! Not Porky! :eek:


Wow. I can't believe it. If Fred and Barney only knew what smoking could do to you now.... :lol:
 
Yup. Also, some of the cartoons were also racist. Here's some Betty Boop clips

Making Stars
Minnie the Moocher
Halloween Party
Betty Boop's Big Boss

Ahh! They took down Hitler's Children again. Now that short was freaky. Also that short with Donald Duck during the WW2 era.
 
cool idea for a thread...wasn't Betty Boop controversial? i remember having a class lecture about that before lol. They had to tone her down because she was too "sexy" for that time period?
 
Oh I remembered that Porky Pig one :lmao:

"S-s-son of a gun! You thought I was going to say son of a b*** didn't you?"

:lmao:

Well, you're never going to see Fred and Barney do this anymore: this or this
 
Okay, so I had this topic in mind for quite some time and intended to start up something like this when I finished with my exams. Well, now that my exams are over and I have at least a two month vacation (not counting work :pout: ), I figured I could start this.

Of course we all know by now that Cartoons isn't always kid-friendly. Even some of the old Looney Tunes cartoons had racial content all the way up to the episode of Pokemon where one scene caused a lot of kids to have seizures. And even World War II cartoons that they're trying not to air again that's actually made from Disney (although there were claims that Disney's trying to deny ever making those kind of cartoons that involved a certain dictator)

If there's any thing you've seen that has it's controversy or want to talk about controversial cartoons, here's the place. And here's some examples:

Angel Puss (1944)
Jungle Jitters
All This and a Rabbit Stew
Pokemon Seizure Episode (this has been dumbed down slightly since the flashing is a lot faster in the original)
Pokemon #1 (this is one of the episodes that have been banned due to a certain "cleavage" scene


There is more if you go to YouTube and type "banned cartoons" on the search engine. Though watch it as soon as you can because those kind of videos do get taken down (most likely due to copyright issues). I'll try to post more when I can find them.

If you want my opinion on this, although some of the cartoons have been pulled out indefinitely, some cartoons (especially the first three I posted) are essential history-wise as it depicts the time cartoons were made.

Just to let you know, there's two simple rules:

*No discussion of cartoons that are the 18+. Some of us may like it but since FF is a PG-13 site, let's keep it on the level. This goes for video clips you may find.

*No South Park episode discussions. We already have a thread for South Park [b]here[/b]
