LOONEY TUNES (Looney Toons): The Best Of Censored Eleven Banned Cartoons (Remastered HD)

The “Censored Eleven“ is a group of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons that were withheld from syndication by United Artists (UA) in 1968. UA owned the distribution rights to the Associated Artists Productions library at that time, and decided to pull these eleven cartoons from broadcast because the use of ethnic stereotypes in the cartoons were deemed too offensive for contemporary audiences. The ban has been upheld by UA and the successive owners of the pre-August 1948 Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies[1] catalog to this day, which reverted to Warner Bros. in 1996 with Time Warner’s purchase of Turner Broadcasting. These shorts have not been officially broadcast on television since 1968 and have only been exhibited once theatrically by Warner Bros in Spring 2010. 0:10 Hittin’ the Trail for Hallelujah Land (1931) (Black Stereotype) 7:06 Jungle Jitters (1938) (Multiple Racial Stereotypes) 14:04 All This and Rabbit Stew (Bugs Bunny) (1941) (Black Stereotype) 8thM
