      Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s warms my heart that you know the brilliant cartoon “A Tale of Two Kitties” (1942). I was so close to adding that scene in this video, and now regret that I didn’t. Oh well, guess “I’m a baaaaad pussycat.” (Thank you again!)

      Look, you just keep showing me more of young Joel McCrea in the near-buff, and I'm good. ;D
      Thank YOU for sharing these gems! I've found some great movies because of your posts.

      If you want to see what pre-code cartoons would have been like in the 1940s, I would suggest checking out the Private SNAFU shorts. These were shown only to military personnel during WWII, so they were exempt from the Hayes Code. Because these Warner Bros. shorts were not shown to general audiences, words like hell and damn were fair game, as were partial male and female animated nudity.

    Jackass isn't profanity, and in fact was used when the production code was in full force, even in some Disney cartoons.

    You hear this mild use of cursing and wonder why grownups decided later that all movies had to be made to be acceptable for playing to seven-year-olds.

    I think some of these were outtakes that never appeared in the released film. Sometimes they were collected on reels and played at private Hollywood parties.

    • @michiganjfrog
      @michiganjfrog  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it. This was by far the hardest video I put together, what with trying to remember in what films someone cursed or used a hand-gesture. Once I had the clips, however, it was a blast to edit.
      I have considered putting together an LGBT-themed video, but I fear the community might consider it disrespectful, which would be the last thing I’d intend. Worse, I fear the video could be used to weaponize.
