Thank you...please relate the amount of jobs filled by talented people to entertain the masses in times of war and depression. Don't let the agenda made how awesome and important these cartoons are .
As someone who read the book I don’t dislike these depictions of Uncle Tom just because they’re bad stereotypes, but they take one of the most iconic and dramatic pieces of American literature and turn it into a joke. And not even in a clever way like Mel Brook’s parodies of beloved classics, just in a mediocre way that kind of insults the original book and it’s poignant drama and characters
I just had to come back because after writing that first comment I literally had to re-process the fact that you described Mel Brooks as “clever” 🤦🏼♂️

I have mixed feelings. It seems weird that the cartoon’s production meeting went like: Guy 1: You know what would be a good topic for a children's cartoon? Guy 2: Slavery auction? Guy 1: *finger guns* Bingo. But at the same time you have to remember that Children’s stories were crazy by today’s standards. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve read an early edition of the Brother’s Grimm Fairy Tales (If you haven’t, check it out it’s worth the read). So, it’s possible they were trying to introduce kids to adult topics in a light hearted manner they could understand. Also the cartoon tries to show black people in a positive light. The “white” hippo is friendly with the black girl and seems to regard her as her equal by singing and dancing with her, and she cried when they were all taken away. Yes, they were dressed poorly but they were literally slaves, so that makes sense.Then of course they kill the overseer at the end showing triumph over oppression… It does seem weird that the freed slaves sing the confederate anthem at the end though. In regard to the art style, I gave it a pass. As others have mentioned since it was black and white illustration, cartoons characters were filled in all black for ease of animation. This is just a guess, but I imagine the reason for the white ring around the mouth was to make it easier to draw facial expressions, since it would be very difficult to do so otherwise on an all-black character. Of course this would only hold for early animations like this one. As time progressed and more complex depictions became possible, an illustrator’s choice to continue depicting black folk in this manner could rightly be perceived as racist.
While I agree with most of your analysis... one thing you are mistaken about is the intended audience. Cartoons in the 30’s were not ever intended for children. This is a common misconception that many people who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons on the television have. Problem is, this animation was created long before the invention of the television. Cartoons in the 30’s were shown to adult audiences at the cinemas. It was not a common practice to bring children to movie theaters even for matinees. These cartoons were intended as an “opening act” to be easily understood by an audience that was to a much higher degree than today- illiterate. This was an easier medium than a feature film (mostly b/c feature length films up to this point were only about 25-30 mins long) to bring the ideas from a Harriet Beecher Stowe to a much larger audience. It’s only blatant about how in your face it is to someone who is educated and is looking at it with “2020 vision” (pun intended). It’s easy to look back and slap our knees and say “look how backward we were back then” or your animator’s pitch scenario and get all fired up about it- this was how early film makers and animators introduced audiences who largely couldn’t read uncle toms cabin- the idea that slavery was horrible and that slaves were treated like animals...make sense?

@@mikedeezle2249 , this video is truly strange and I can't make up my mind if I should or shouldn't be offended. But I agree with your pov! It really was made in a very different age. In the 1920s a lot of the older folks had actually experienced slavery. In a few years the video will be a hundred years old!! The creators of this video weren't afraid to use racial stereotypes, and the label "political correctness" didn't exist, yet. But none of the characters are shown in a very flattering way, and the message that slavery is not only evil but also absurd, is loud and clear IMO. It reminds me a little bit of the crows in the original "Dumbo" movie. A lot of people complain today that the crows are shown in such a racist way that they shouldn't be in that movie. I beg to differ: the crows are nothing but kind, and they teach Dumbo how to fly! Without the crows Dumbo would've never discovered his outstanding talent! The crows are the good guys - and they also have the funniest lines and the best music😉 "Dumbo" would lose a lot of it's appeal without the jive-talkin' crows!
In the 00’s you could find dvd’s with all sorts of old racist cartoons for like a couple bucks. I don’t know if this is still the case or if that’s changed now.
One thing people need to remember is that while cartoons during this period seem juvenile, they were made for general audiences, NOT children. They were simply short features that accompanied the main feature
Stereotypical yes yes- but very clearly a triumph for the poor slaves against the [drownded] slave master. Quite a revelation , and the given title quite misleading
You have to remember, that all of our elders black and white were born back during this era or a little earlier. Now in particular to white elders. If you had grown up in an area where you didn't see black people at all. And you are kid and you have things like this on tv and maybe the occasional comment from mom or dad. Then you have the racial events of the 40's , 50's and 60's . It's called program (TV program[ing]) for a reason. People often ask the question of what made people (whites) like they were back in those days. As I just said and just like I said in college. When you grow up in an era like this and the proverbial not knowing any better. Well that's what happens .
This was odd. The "blacks" are portrayed as being silly, and even enjoying slavery, which wasn't clear until the slave auction. The white owner was portrayed like a villain, not respectfully. The "slaves" escape, and the owner ends up at the bottom of the waterfall. It may be sympathetic to blacks, but it still does not portray blacks very well, IMO. In the end, this cartoon is a product of its time. Thankfully, such a cartoon could not be commercially made today.
I beg to differ: I cannot detect any joy amongst the black characters during the auction. They are forced to project joy! And the white characters are shown just as stereotypical as the black characters. But the message that slavery is evil and absurd, is loud and clear. The cartoon is very strange for us today - but I cannot detect racism. Stereotypes are used in cartoons all the time. But stereotypes and racism aren't the same thing!
@@craigkdillon , since we are talking about our subjective impressions while watching the video - yes, we can both be right! But I agree with you, that this video could never be made today, which is probably a good thing.
this isnt racist, streotypical for today? maybe... but back then, incredibly progressive. i love how it shows thaat balck people exibit the full range of emotions. uncle toms great strength which he used to try and help save his friend showed just what there capable of and also did not display whie people as entirely evil too, this is so ahead of its time its insane...
Yes it is a cartoon and meant to amuse. The problem is that at that time, these cartoonish stereotypes were the only way black Americans were every depicted in popular entertainment. These ideas of black people as happy morons who couldn't achieve anything on their own were so deeply engrained in people (and still are with some people, obviously) that it was extremely difficult for any black person to overcome it. Not to mention it's incredibly insulting to be constantly dehumanized this way. Even if this cartoon wasn't meant to insult black people, it did that very thoroughly anyway. Imagine being a young black child in America and having every cartoon, movie, radio show, newspaper portray your family and community this way.
so according to you someone like paul robeson was depicted as a "happy moron." why don't you open your mind, study the history of africans of american descent, and see what you've been missing.
"hillbillys" were depicted in the same way. the cartoons (caricatures) played on stereotypes that affected lots of minorities. it's not meant to be taken seriously. political correctness didn't apply then and shouldn't apply now, too. still, i hear you :) think "presentism."
Think "bullshit". This is racist crap to the nth degree. Uncle Tom? Slave auctions. You're fucking nuts and worse, you're trying to justify this bullshit as "presentism"? WTF" ?
racism exists in the eye of the beholder. they are blind to art and see everything as racism. you are blinded by racism and need to open your eyes. and if everything is "racism", then nothing is racism. these are caricatures judt like the caricatures of hillbillys, jews, asian, et al. the racism exists in you, my friend
in 2017 we are several generations removed from slavery and jim crow. It is time to get on with your life. Never forget the past and use it as a motivator to move on to a better future...period.
1:40--Did you know that the dancing teeth routine was used by animator Terry Gillium in a Monty Python skit on TV and in their first movie "And Now For Something Completely Different"? Check it out!
I watched the movie just yesterday. This cartoon pretty much followed the movie which I assume is pretty accurate based on the book. Except for the fact that the cartoon depicted little Ava's father as mean. He wasn't. He took good care of these people and was set to free Tom but was murdered the day before the night before in a mugging.
no, but i usually jam out the warrant song everyday on my way to work at the factory. i gotta pretty kick ass sound system in the ol' camaro. warrant man, i love 'em. that is good ol' american heavy metal man. not any of that shit that comes out of finland and norway and all those other dang viking countries. hell, can't understand what the hell they are caterwalling and screaming about anyway. if i was per 'dead' ohlin i would've shot myself in the head too. silly makeup wearing stooge. halloween was months ago there corpsepaint. how about a little more tryin' and understanding the concept of melody and a little less huffing bags of bird remains. frickin' freak.

@@Maria-ov6wg Want me to tell you about Racism , Look up Von Braun a SS German Scientist, that was taken in by the Americans after WW2 He killed millions bur was forgiven to work on the Apollo program, a lot of SS Were, He also was friends with Walt Disney.

Melons in general,have been used for centuries to keep field hands working. Water sources, often contaminated, would sicken or kill those who drank it. Growing melons, allowed some level of filter sterilization of most pathogens by roots of plants. Additionally, sugars and other electrolytes lessened dehydration. By content, most of melon water. Did the slave owners, European & Asian peasant overlords, know this? Not likely, but if they were fed melons they worked better & didn't get sick & die.
It's the banalization of an anti-ralcist novel like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" especially in the runaway slave sequence and her persecution. Best part of the cartoon comes towards the end when the Slaves' Master gets killed.
This is a burlesque of a ‘Tom show’, a stage production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. They were very popular before the first war, but were considered rather old fashioned by the time this cartoon is made. I think the makers grew up on this stuff, and are now writing a parody of it, with (then) modern music. I think this is what causes some of the bizzare points of this cartoon.
Originally released by Pathe in March 1930 as an 'Aesop's Sound Fable', "Dixie Days". Produced by the Van Beuren Studio, directed by John Foster & Mannie Davis, with "synchronized" music score by Gene Rodemich.
lmao wut, you feeling sorry for people who made a 90 year old cartoon, the fact is that the imagery was jim crow, just because its in the past doesn't justify it
THIS CARTOON AIN'T RACIST! IT'S A CRITICISM TO THE RACIST HISTORY OF AMERICA! The reason that the cartoon depicts black slaves as happy is because back in the old south whites had that idea that slaves were meant to be happy. The reason that we see the black stereotypes is because that's how whites saw blacks back then. We see blacks running away from their slave masters because that's pretty much what happened in the book Uncle Tom's Cabin. They portray Uncle Tom as the hero who freed the slaves because in the book he confront his "massa" by refusing to work while the other slaves were just escaping.
Oh Right. A cartoon from the 1930's which was at the peak of the KKK, depicting blacks in every possible stereotype going back to Uncle Toms Cabin is trying to criticize the racist history of America, instead of playing right into it. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. .
shadow king13 LSD? Do you not see what this cartoon is portraying? It's the hardships black men and women had. Even their children were in danger. It's honestly compelling to watch and it was the reality then. Humans are a really fucked up people but the beauty in it all is that we have the ability to change. Peace
Mickey (originally Mortimer Mouse) DNA sources Felix the Cat Cartoons, the creative brain child of Otto Mesmer (although Pat Sullivan claimed the IP rights as owner of the studio). Felix was an outgrowth of a Cat called Master Tom in a cartoon called Feline Follies 1919 (note the date); Mesmer and Sullivan also produced the Charlie Chaplin Cartoons. The work of Windsor McKay influenced Mesmer's Cartoons, McKay produced the very first cartoon (about a Dinosaur). Felix the Cat is solid black, so is Mickey Mouse. Easier to ink and animate in the B/W Cartoons. Mickey/Mortimer was in two silent cartoons which failed to find distribution. Oswald the Rabbit, and Mickey Mouse were the invention of "Ub" Iwerks, Walt Disney's oldest friend, both were illustrators for a Magazine in 1919, until Walt Disney (Mickey's first voice) decided to get into animation and his friend Iwerks followed. Mickey Mouse comes on the scene a decade after Felix The Cat, but Pat Sullivan kept his cartoons silent, and by 1935 Felix the Cat's popularity faded. Steamboat Willie was not the first Sound Synchronized Cartoon (or Comic as the title states) and the work of Ub Iwerk (as were most of the Disney Cartoons) receives credit. Starting in May 1924 and continuing through September 1926, The Dave and Max Fleischer's Inkwell Studio produced 19 sound cartoons, using the Phonofilm, sound-on-film process. Disney used a patent infringement copy of the system.
Uncle tom's cabin was a book written against slavery, in book evil slave owner drowns when chasing slaves. In cartoon, The evil slave owner went over the waterfalls. So this wasn't meant as anti-black people, but opposed to slavery.
I guess back in the day you could rip off other cartoon characters with impunity , especially as I've seen a feww different scenes in this cartoon where Mickey Mouse is definately drawn into it .
Por lo que he visto, este cortometraje no es racista. Es una adaptación de “La cabaña del tío Tom” que reflejan bastante bien el periodo de esclavitud con gags que tienen gracia.
The cartoon is based off of the book Uncle Toms Cabin. It showed the horrors and wrongs that the slave owners did to the slaves. This was true except without all the animals and dancing! I also don't why some of you are calling all whites devils? How many of us do you think had anything to do with slavery? There were 12 million people in America in 1850 and out of that only 2 million were slaves and about that same number were slave owners so there were many, many white people that never owned slaves. If white people didn't stand up and fight for blacks to be free it would have never happened. You can curse the ones that did it but I have never once heard anyone thank any white people that fought against slavery. Do you know how many families were split over the issue, how many wives, sisters, brothers and husbands fought behind the scenes to even get this started? You should really think about it. Talking down to all white people does not make todays issues better for sure.
Although the cartoon was loosely based off the plot of Uncle Tom's Cabin, it made incredible light of the extremely serious issues dealt with in the book. Also, if you remember, one of the main points of the book was that northern white people who prided themselves on being against slavery were still extremely racist and tried hard not to associate with african americans. And did anybody actually say "white devils"? I find that hard to believe.
Irish, French, English, Dutch ... and people from all over came to the united states, many of them in the same generation worked right along side blacks as slaves themselves and/or indentured servants. Not to mention just about all countries participated in slavery and some still do.... as well as the fact that almost every race creed and color was some form of slave at some point. Let alone how women were treated. To stereotype all white Americans is also racist.
Kailah William Well I'm far from proud of my lineage in any rate, and you forgot the Native Americans. :( but I hear you. I guess I am Idealist in thinking at one time many walks of people were part of it, and everyone decided it was a bad idea, but you are right. It was never set fair or just. The atrocities far too great to make reparations and as it still is ongoing. I *just* (accidentally) had fox news on where they interviewed 2 'experts' on the Ferguson situation with another black man named Alex. In which the quoted Mayor Giuliani in saying 'The most dangerous thing to a black is another black' and 'black neighborhoods need policed more... I was trying to find a clip when I cam here . Oh and Alex did not get to rebut. They 'ran out of time' for.... the second time on her show. google rudy-giuliani-former-mayor-black-violence-reason-white-cops-ferguson
This was definitely a different time in history Racism was everywhere and sadly we still have Racism in the world I hope one day we could get rid of Racism for good
Very sad that this is what generations were taught and had to look at. I believe GEN Z is the start of a turning point for the better though. Hopefully. Everyone should be able to enjoy life without being ridiculed for who you are.
This cartoon was celebrating and poking a little fun at blacks. Back then people were not as mentally unstable as they are today..Back then this was no big deal.
High: you must be high. Racism has nothing to do with power over others. There are plenty of powerful people who are absolutely not racist. There are plenty of people who are incredibly racist and become extremely violent because they have no power. What about Mahatma Gandhi who was powerful in his way or 'Antifa' who are fairly powerless but extremely violent against whites.
If you want to look at the actual history, you should go read Uncle Tom's Cabin. Then you'll know how racist people were in that time era and how depicting the book's original story this way is racist and insulting and how this is still racist today.
Me: Thanks for your reply, that's pretty much what I was saying. If you think the makers of the cartoon were very racist think again, I see them making fun of a nasty looking unlikeable overseer and presenting a really likeable older man who treats people well. If the makers were truly racist, why would they portray them that way. Look beyond a stereotype and see the underlying message, I like the old man far far better than the whip guy, AND I'm white.
After the Van Beuren Studio closed for good in 1936, their cartoons were in limbo until Official Films acquired the rights to most of them in the '40s, reissuing them for "home movie" audiences (on 16mm) and early TV release as part of their "Jungle Jinks" series, with new titles.
walt disney himself wasn't racist or anti-semetic but he was racially insensitive and good friends with plenty of people who were anti-semetic and racist
bighispanic92 ! I’m Hispanic so what if it was about our culture remember speedy Gonzalez or the Frito Bandito ? They were taken down because they cast us in a stereotypical light or was that before your time ? ?
Hell, moonwalkings origins? This one predates me, but seeing stuff like this didnt even show up on my radar as racist as a kid. I just saw weird characters and enjoyed them. I didnt really think animals could talk or anyone on earth looked like this for real. Didnt consider it racist til someone told me it I need to see it such. I wonder why they didnt tell me mice cant really ice skate
Very good observation. I couldn't agree any more. Especially the part that most children would never have seen any of this as being racist unless an adult or someone older tells them so and tells them they should be offended. Thanks for pointing that out because it's so true!
Did people that are calling this racist even watch the entire video? The slaves got away by killing the slave catcher, sending him off a cliff. Some people just like to complain for the sake of complaining.
This was how, and somewhat now, how we are looked upon by many racist. I can imagine the shit my ancestors went thru,..treating them like shit, and finding it humorous.
robert lindsey black people don't look at white people in any more of a flattering way. It's just more socially acceptable for black people to make fun of white people than vise versa. You can call that black privilege.
robert lindsey so you're mad about some shit that happened before you were born? I've got good news for you, the tables have completely turned. It's totally socially acceptable for black people to makes fun of "the goofy white guy" in standup and in the media then it is for white people to be stereotypical towards black people. So you win. I guess it's white people's turn to be mad about the black privilege then.
Please pass the brain bleach. I didn't take the Uncle Tom's Cabin reference seriously enough in what started out as a day in the life of animals who farm & ended with slaves rescuing a baby even tho they will probably all starve & freeze to death soon. Far more disturbing then ridiculous body images was the idea presented that owning other people is ok & funny. I've been watching some of the banned toons posted on UA-cam because I'm curious about society's changing views reflected in animation. Thank you for posting, but this has been the worst so far.
Too bad Snoop Dog or Dr. Dre were not around then. This would have been a cartoon about raping ho's and slapping b*tches. If you're offended about this you should go into a closed garage and start the car.
Honestly, that shit made me laugh because I had seen your comment and was kinda waiting for the time you gave and was really not expecting that, but ... wow. This video is scary as shit! Just straight creepy!
For the people calling it not racist because they “escaped” were ignoring the entire fact that this shit is real life. & it’s nothing comedic about it!
I'm Black make no mistake about it, but that was how the times were. Black musicians accompanied the toons: Cab Calloway accompanied it and was part of it as well; also Duke Ellington accompanied one as well as Vivian and Ruby Dandridge voicing some characters in Coal Black & Sebben Dwarfs...
It was simply "those days"

If you had grown up in an area where you didn't see black people at all. And you are kid and you have things like this on tv and maybe the occasional comment from mom or dad. Then you have the racial events of the 40's , 50's and 60's . It's called program (TV program[ing]) for a reason. People often ask the question of what made people (whites) like they were back in those days. As I just said and just like I said in college. When you grow up in an era like this and the proverbial not knowing any better. Well that's what happens .
The animation was better then many of the things you see on tv to day

This was odd. The "blacks" are portrayed as being silly, and even enjoying slavery, which wasn't clear until the slave auction. The white owner was portrayed like a villain, not respectfully. The "slaves" escape, and the owner ends up at the bottom of the waterfall. It may be sympathetic to blacks, but it still does not portray blacks very well, IMO.
In the end, this cartoon is a product of its time. Thankfully, such a cartoon could not be commercially made today.
They didn't look like they enjoyed it at all. Watch it again.
I beg to differ: I cannot detect any joy amongst the black characters during the auction. They are forced to project joy! And the white characters are shown just as stereotypical as the black characters. But the message that slavery is evil and absurd, is loud and clear.
The cartoon is very strange for us today - but I cannot detect racism. Stereotypes are used in cartoons all the time. But stereotypes and racism aren't the same thing!
@@sabineb.5616 Interesting how we view the same thing, and have different impressions.

@@craigkdillon , since we are talking about our subjective impressions while watching the video - yes, we can both be right! But I agree with you, that this video could never be made today, which is probably a good thing.
this isnt racist, streotypical for today? maybe... but back then, incredibly progressive. i love how it shows thaat balck people exibit the full range of emotions. uncle toms great strength which he used to try and help save his friend showed just what there capable of and also did not display whie people as entirely evil too, this is so ahead of its time its insane...
Love those old cartoons

Me too
Re: the opening.
Mickey who??
Your comment is older than a lot of my classmates lol 😆
for those of you who don't get it - this is a cartoon ... a caricature, not reality.
Yes it is a cartoon and meant to amuse. The problem is that at that time, these cartoonish stereotypes were the only way black Americans were every depicted in popular entertainment. These ideas of black people as happy morons who couldn't achieve anything on their own were so deeply engrained in people (and still are with some people, obviously) that it was extremely difficult for any black person to overcome it. Not to mention it's incredibly insulting to be constantly dehumanized this way. Even if this cartoon wasn't meant to insult black people, it did that very thoroughly anyway. Imagine being a young black child in America and having every cartoon, movie, radio show, newspaper portray your family and community this way.
so according to you someone like paul robeson was depicted as a "happy moron."
why don't you open your mind, study the history of africans of american descent, and see what you've been missing.
"hillbillys" were depicted in the same way. the cartoons (caricatures) played on stereotypes that affected lots of minorities. it's not meant to be taken seriously. political correctness didn't apply then and shouldn't apply now, too. still, i hear you :) think "presentism."
Think "bullshit". This is racist crap to the nth degree. Uncle Tom? Slave auctions. You're fucking nuts and worse, you're trying to justify this bullshit as "presentism"? WTF" ?
racism exists in the eye of the beholder. they are blind to art and see everything as racism. you are blinded by racism and need to open your eyes. and if everything is "racism", then nothing is racism. these are caricatures judt like the caricatures of hillbillys, jews, asian, et al. the racism exists in you, my friend
in 2017 we are several generations removed from slavery and jim crow. It is time to get on with your life. Never forget the past and use it as a motivator to move on to a better future...period.
I agree
A lot of the characters in this have mile long stares. I think they're all jaded and broken.

Has ANYONE actually read "Uncle Tom's Cabin"?
I watched the movie just yesterday. This cartoon pretty much followed the movie which I assume is pretty accurate based on the book. Except for the fact that the cartoon depicted little Ava's father as mean. He wasn't. He took good care of these people and was set to free Tom but was murdered the day before the night before in a mugging.
no, but i usually jam out the warrant song everyday on my way to work at the factory. i gotta pretty kick ass sound system in the ol' camaro. warrant man, i love 'em. that is good ol' american heavy metal man. not any of that shit that comes out of finland and norway and all those other dang viking countries. hell, can't understand what the hell they are caterwalling and screaming about anyway. if i was per 'dead' ohlin i would've shot myself in the head too. silly makeup wearing stooge. halloween was months ago there corpsepaint. how about a little more tryin' and understanding the concept of melody and a little less huffing bags of bird remains. frickin' freak.

Melons in general,have been used for centuries to keep field hands working. Water sources, often contaminated, would sicken or kill those who drank it. Growing melons, allowed some level of filter sterilization of most pathogens by roots of plants. Additionally, sugars and other electrolytes lessened dehydration. By content, most of melon water. Did the slave owners, European & Asian peasant overlords, know this? Not likely, but if they were fed melons they worked better & didn't get sick & die.
It's the banalization of an anti-ralcist novel like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" especially in the runaway slave sequence and her persecution. Best part of the cartoon comes towards the end when the Slaves' Master gets killed.
The poor animation distracted me from the racism.
This is a burlesque of a ‘Tom show’, a stage production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. They were very popular before the first war, but were considered rather old fashioned by the time this cartoon is made. I think the makers grew up on this stuff, and are now writing a parody of it, with (then) modern music. I think this is what causes some of the bizzare points of this cartoon.
Originally released by Pathe in March 1930 as an 'Aesop's Sound Fable', "Dixie Days". Produced by the Van Beuren Studio, directed by John Foster & Mannie Davis, with "synchronized" music score by Gene Rodemich.
Bunch of Jews, got it
Well, the staff was mostly Jewish, because the studio was based in New York.

THIS CARTOON AIN'T RACIST! IT'S A CRITICISM TO THE RACIST HISTORY OF AMERICA!
The reason that the cartoon depicts black slaves as happy is because back in the old south whites had that idea that slaves were meant to be happy. The reason that we see the black stereotypes is because that's how whites saw blacks back then. We see blacks running away from their slave masters because that's pretty much what happened in the book Uncle Tom's Cabin. They portray Uncle Tom as the hero who freed the slaves because in the book he confront his "massa" by refusing to work while the other slaves were just escaping.
Francisco Cortes only a white person would think this isn't racist
M.E films The cartoon was actually based from the book. So stop the bull
Exact!y funny how whites can depict other blacks and act as tho they can explain ones experience.
El Cisco Kid very true
Oh Right. A cartoon from the 1930's which was at the peak of the KKK, depicting blacks in every possible stereotype going back to Uncle Toms Cabin is trying to criticize the racist history of America, instead of playing right into it. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. .
This is frightening.
It's amazing to think how far our animation has come
What the fuck kind of LSD where people on back in the 30's?
shadow king13 LSD? Do you not see what this cartoon is portraying? It's the hardships black men and women had. Even their children were in danger. It's honestly compelling to watch and it was the reality then. Humans are a really fucked up people but the beauty in it all is that we have the ability to change. Peace
@@hasdjeda6127 you really just missed the part where people were dancing on the slave auction podium
is that where Mickey mouse came from
Mickey Mouse came from Oscar the Lucky Rabbit.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbit
No he was Steam ship Willie.
Mickey (originally Mortimer Mouse) DNA sources Felix the Cat Cartoons, the creative brain child of Otto Mesmer (although Pat Sullivan claimed the IP rights as owner of the studio). Felix was an outgrowth of a Cat called Master Tom in a cartoon called Feline Follies 1919 (note the date); Mesmer and Sullivan also produced the Charlie Chaplin Cartoons. The work of Windsor McKay influenced Mesmer's Cartoons, McKay produced the very first cartoon (about a Dinosaur).
Felix the Cat is solid black, so is Mickey Mouse. Easier to ink and animate in the B/W Cartoons. Mickey/Mortimer was in two silent cartoons which failed to find distribution.
Oswald the Rabbit, and Mickey Mouse were the invention of "Ub" Iwerks, Walt Disney's oldest friend, both were illustrators for a Magazine in 1919, until Walt Disney (Mickey's first voice) decided to get into animation and his friend Iwerks followed. Mickey Mouse comes on the scene a decade after Felix The Cat, but Pat Sullivan kept his cartoons silent, and by 1935 Felix the Cat's popularity faded.
Steamboat Willie was not the first Sound Synchronized Cartoon (or Comic as the title states) and the work of Ub Iwerk (as were most of the Disney Cartoons) receives credit. Starting in May 1924 and continuing through September 1926, The Dave and Max Fleischer's Inkwell Studio produced 19 sound cartoons, using the Phonofilm, sound-on-film process. Disney used a patent infringement copy of the system.
Renshen1957 great stuff on this cool subject, awesome comment 👍👍
Well done! Accurate. Now I have to see Master Tom, too.
4:33 the story of Moses the Man of God.
Ends the same way too..
The slave masters died in water.....
I would imagine that in 50 years from now, the show In Living Color will receive the same scorn as these old cartoons.
Ohhh yeah
Uncle tom's cabin was a book written against slavery, in book evil slave owner drowns when chasing slaves. In cartoon, The evil slave owner went over the waterfalls. So this wasn't meant as anti-black people, but opposed to slavery.
I guess back in the day you could rip off other cartoon characters with impunity , especially as I've seen a feww different scenes in this cartoon where Mickey Mouse is definately drawn into it .
Por lo que he visto, este cortometraje no es racista. Es una adaptación de “La cabaña del tío Tom” que reflejan bastante bien el periodo de esclavitud con gags que tienen gracia.
It’s the visual stereotypes
The cartoon is based off of the book Uncle Toms Cabin. It showed the horrors and wrongs that the slave owners did to the slaves. This was true except without all the animals and dancing! I also don't why some of you are calling all whites devils? How many of us do you think had anything to do with slavery? There were 12 million people in America in 1850 and out of that only 2 million were slaves and about that same number were slave owners so there were many, many white people that never owned slaves. If white people didn't stand up and fight for blacks to be free it would have never happened. You can curse the ones that did it but I have never once heard anyone thank any white people that fought against slavery. Do you know how many families were split over the issue, how many wives, sisters, brothers and husbands fought behind the scenes to even get this started? You should really think about it. Talking down to all white people does not make todays issues better for sure.
Although the cartoon was loosely based off the plot of Uncle Tom's Cabin, it made incredible light of the extremely serious issues dealt with in the book. Also, if you remember, one of the main points of the book was that northern white people who prided themselves on being against slavery were still extremely racist and tried hard not to associate with african americans. And did anybody actually say "white devils"? I find that hard to believe.
Irish, French, English, Dutch ... and people from all over came to the united states, many of them in the same generation worked right along side blacks as slaves themselves and/or indentured servants. Not to mention just about all countries participated in slavery and some still do.... as well as the fact that almost every race creed and color was some form of slave at some point. Let alone how women were treated. To stereotype all white Americans is also racist.
LiaThePenguinologist Of course it did... it was a cartoon made for kids to enjoy, not watch and be horrified at.

Well I'm far from proud of my lineage in any rate, and you forgot the Native Americans. :( but I hear you. I guess I am Idealist in thinking at one time many walks of people were part of it, and everyone decided it was a bad idea, but you are right. It was never set fair or just. The atrocities far too great to make reparations and as it still is ongoing. I *just* (accidentally) had fox news on where they interviewed 2 'experts' on the Ferguson situation with another black man named Alex. In which the quoted Mayor Giuliani in saying 'The most dangerous thing to a black is another black' and 'black neighborhoods need policed more... I was trying to find a clip when I cam here . Oh and Alex did not get to rebut. They 'ran out of time' for.... the second time on her show.

This cartoon was celebrating and poking a little fun at blacks. Back then people were not as mentally unstable as they are today..Back then this was no big deal.
Your still serving the Plantasion, today we call it the DNC under Massah Barak
Its a cartoon from the 30's times where different then look at the history not the racism..
Totally agree
Preach!
High: you must be high. Racism has nothing to do with power over others. There are plenty of powerful people who are absolutely not racist. There are plenty of people who are incredibly racist and become extremely violent because they have no power. What about Mahatma Gandhi who was powerful in his way or 'Antifa' who are fairly powerless but extremely violent against whites.
If you want to look at the actual history, you should go read Uncle Tom's Cabin. Then you'll know how racist people were in that time era and how depicting the book's original story this way is racist and insulting and how this is still racist today.
Me: Thanks for your reply, that's pretty much what I was saying. If you think the makers of the cartoon were very racist think again, I see them making fun of a nasty looking unlikeable overseer and presenting a really likeable older man who treats people well. If the makers were truly racist, why would they portray them that way. Look beyond a stereotype and see the underlying message, I like the old man far far better than the whip guy, AND I'm white.
After the Van Beuren Studio closed for good in 1936, their cartoons were in limbo until Official Films acquired the rights to most of them in the '40s, reissuing them for "home movie" audiences (on 16mm) and early TV release as part of their "Jungle Jinks" series, with new titles.
Damn disney just damn. Wtf
This wasn't Disney. From the looks of it, it was a poor imitator. However Disney did do some blackface stuff in this time so they were no better.
what does Disney have to do with this cartoon? in the beginning, it clearly says Original Films present a Jungle Jinks cartoon.
This is a 1930 Van Beuren cartoon originally titled "Dixie Days".
It reminds me of the old mickey mouse cartoons the silently ones the one he was driving the steamboat

They should have just showed the real cartoons from America.
Goodness! ... it is as if a different planet, at a separate quadrant of the galaxy.
Did people that are calling this racist even watch the entire video? The slaves got away by killing the slave catcher, sending him off a cliff. Some people just like to complain for the sake of complaining.
This was how, and somewhat now, how we are looked upon by many racist. I can imagine the shit my ancestors went thru,..treating them like shit, and finding it humorous.
robert lindsey black people don't look at white people in any more of a flattering way. It's just more socially acceptable for black people to make fun of white people than vise versa. You can call that black privilege.
robert lindsey so you're mad about some shit that happened before you were born? I've got good news for you, the tables have completely turned. It's totally socially acceptable for black people to makes fun of "the goofy white guy" in standup and in the media then it is for white people to be stereotypical towards black people. So you win. I guess it's white people's turn to be mad about the black privilege then.
robert lindsey hahaha
Those complaining people you are referring to are liberals. They are the ones this video are touting, "victims of racism."
This type of cartoon is what was shone on TV when i was a kid in the mid 50s . They were much better than the crap the kids are being fed today .

Please pass the brain bleach. I didn't take the Uncle Tom's Cabin reference seriously enough in what started out as a day in the life of animals who farm & ended with slaves rescuing a baby even tho they will probably all starve & freeze to death soon. Far more disturbing then ridiculous body images was the idea presented that owning other people is ok & funny. I've been watching some of the banned toons posted on UA-cam because I'm curious about society's changing views reflected in animation. Thank you for posting, but this has been the worst so far.
At lease they made the Slave Trader evil, who got his butt kicked at the end ! But I have a hard time knowing who's black and who's white.
