Featured review
One of the many Looney Tunes that's banned from Public
This and many other WW2 Looney Tunes like Private Snafu or any with Nazis in it are banned from TV airing.
This is their #1 banned cartoon. Which has a large amount of funny looking Japanese characters.(They all have big ears, big teeth, wear glasses sometimes, and act gullible, mischievous, and act a little stupid).
Back then a lot of cartoon studio made fun of the Japanese since they were the enemy back then, so they did these shorts where they make them look like Cartoon characters.
It has a lot of jokes about Early WW2 events, and they just try to make the Japanese look as stupid as they can be in this short film. Through out the this 7 minute short you see them get slapped, poked, and ever clubbed themselves to make you think their idiots.
Please know this cartoon is banned due to it being very racist. It's very hard to find because AOL Warner Time refused to air it or release it on Home Video or DVD, internet search is one option.
If you're Japanese, don't bother looking for this short, cause it may offend you in a way. But you shouldn't blame Warner Bros. for doing this short cause back then Americans didn't get along with the Japanese.
Course today we know better and would consider it wrong to make fun of Japan.
This is only recommended to those who are interested in seeing an example on how people think of Japan during WW2.
