Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarves is not actually a good cartoon

I don't care if it was banned, it's still pretty lame.

    I would like to be like "no one actually thinks it is" but there are definitely apologists for this thing

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    It's weird to think that's probably the best of the Censored Eleven cartoons, too.

    TBF, the rest of the cartoons on that list are genuinely quite excellent.

    Yes, which makes that more puzzling.

    Wow I thought this ws a joke and there was no such cartoon. Oops.

    Apparently Clampett's intentions were genuinely progressive and a lot of the caricatures were shout-outs to people he knew personally, but that doesn't necessarily make for a great cartoon, let alone by modern standards. I mean, layers of meaning are great, particularly if they're subversive, but the fact that the face value level is "minstrel parody" is... hard to get past.

    Having not seen it, I can't say how well it works anyway; and I probably don't have a good enough working knowledge of '40s hot jazz culture to get the subtler stuff at work in the first place, but so it goes.

    I'm sure there wasn't genuine hate put into it but it's not his greatest work, and it hasn't aged well.

    That is not surprising.

    No, none of the variations of Red Hot Riding Hood were any good either.
