I feel the need for a bit of a disclaimer on this one. In the 1930s and 40s society was far from having the level of equality which is present today, and the media`s portrayal of different races reflected this. All cartoons in this collection share this theme of insensitivity. They portray African people as cannibals, feature Bugs Bunny in full blackface and have a general minstrel show feel. However, at the core, these cartoons have no malicious intent and are simply lighthearted shorts meant to entertain. Racial inequality is part of American and world history, these cartoons provide an interesting look at this topic while also being hilarious. Everyone can enjoy these cartoons, but a grain of salt is definitely in order.
Here is one of the cartoons included in the collection: Jungle Jitters.
Little Black Sambo comes with the following films:
Little Black Sambo
Mammy gives Little Black Sambo a quick scrub on the washboard, then pats him down with baby powder, black baby powder, before sending him off to play. She warns him about the tiger. "That ol` tiger sure do like dark meat!" The family dog has brushed up against a freshly painted fence and now fancies himself to be a scary tiger. Sambo mistakes his dog for the tiger and is chased right up a tree. Then the pair meet a real tiger. Sambo is scared white. They run home and lock themselves in, but the feline sneaks in the back way. Sambo sets a molasses trap for the tiger, then burns him with a red hot frying pan. Mammy and Sambo dance in their delight at ridding themselves of the tiger.
Jasper in a Jam
This George Pal "Puppetoon" (production number U5-7) features the music of Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra and the voice of singer Peggy Lee. It takes place in a pawnshop where, when the clock strikes midnight, all of the hocked instruments in the shop come to life. Barnet and the band are featured on "Pompton Turnpike", Peggy Lee sings "Old Man Mose is Dead", and they get together on a rousing rendition of "Cherokee", while "Jasper" (a black-kid puppet character) dreams he is trapped by a totem pole.
Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat
Lazy folks in Lazy Town (Pop. 123½) are napping and attracting flies. They are so lethargic they even fight in slow motion. Then a riverboat arrives with a red hot mama on board. Faster than you can say "Jim Crow", she has everyone moving to a Harlem boogie beat, dancing, scrubbing clothes, and eating watermelon.
Jungle Jitters
A tribe of African cannibals get an unexpected visit from a stuttering salesman. After he barges his way in, they decide it throw him in a pot of boiling water rather then listen to his schpiel. The Queen of the tribe on the other hand takes a shining to the Salesman and soon he is left with the desicion of becoming a her husband or her dinner. A classic Warner Bros. cartoon.
