Tomahawk Reviews Youtube Fat Kid With Funny Accent
It'south no Coal Black
Information technology is interesting to compare this Chuck Jones cartoon with Bob Clampett'southward Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943), since both were written by Warren Foster and dealt with racial stereotypes. While Coal Black seems to take an adoration for the culture it is ridiculing, and is filled with an exuberance and joy in its portrayal of the characters, Angel Puss seems but hateful-spirited. The vain Prince and greedy Queen are the main objects of mockery in Coal Black, but Angel Puss picks on an innocent black child for fun. He is paid to drown a cat but cannot bring himself to practice it. While he is arguing with his conscience the cat manages to escape the bag he was kept in. The true cat, pretending to be the kid'south conscience, urges the child to go through with his original plan. The cat so spends the rest of the cartoon pretending to be a ghost and "haunting" the child. This part of the story is just painful to lookout man. The child obviously doesn't deserve the treatment he suffers through. While many of the Warner Bros. cartoons dealt with a heckling grapheme hassling some milquetoast in a very humorous way, this drawing seems spiritless, as if director Chuck Jones was but going through the motions. It is interesting to notation that this is one of the rare times that Jones worked with Foster, as he usually worked with writers Tedd Pierce and Mike Maltese.
*EDIT* I was mistaken near Warren Foster being the writer of this cartoon. It was actually written past Lou Lilly.

Sure to offend and not particularly funny
This cartoon is on the spider web and tin exist watched on Google Video, though it is NOT in general release because it is so patently offensive. While I am i of the to the lowest degree politically correct-minded people you'll meet (I actually believe in Free Speech), I can easily come across why Warner Brothers pulled this 1, as information technology is so offensive and gross in its stereotype of Blackness Americans. The main character is a huge-lipped and ultra-stupid Black named "Sambo", so information technology certainly isn't surprising that with today'southward sensibilities that this is deemed offensive! At present if you look past the horrid stereotype, the rest of the cartoon is only mildly funny past Looney Toons standards, then I actually recollect you aren't missing anything if you don't picket it. I just hope information technology is Non pulled off Youtube since I hate to see anything completely banished plus information technology is an important and uncomfortable part of our history.

"Dat sho is wet water."
Warning: Spoilers
Looney Tunes short, directed by Chuck Jones, notable today for being one of the Censored Xi. For those who don't know, the Censored Xi are cartoons that were withheld from syndication because they were considered to be too offensive due to their use of racial stereotypes and imagery. This is, in my stance, the most offensive of the Eleven. The story is nigh a immature blackness kid named Sambo (yep, really) who tries to drown a true cat in the river (aye, really). The cat escapes but the male child thinks he'south killed it. So, for the residual of the cartoon, the cat pretends to be a ghost and haunts Sambo for laughs. Eventually Sambo realizes what'southward going on and kills the cat with a shotgun (yes, really). Throughout the short in that location's all kinds of racist stuff like Sambo being drawn in blackface caricature and speaking in an exaggerated Southern black accent. Also in that location'southward the expected stereotype of blackness men being afraid of ghosts that was a abiding fixture in movies of the time featuring blackness comedians. This is Chuck Jones' but entry on the Censored Eleven. There's actually very little of what would later be his signature mode on display here. It's a i-joke cartoon and that one joke isn't that funny to begin with. If it weren't for the controversy at that place really wouldn't exist much to say about this. It would be lumped in with dozens of other similarly forgettable shorts from the period. See it for the history, I guess, or perchance if you're a Jones completist. Otherwise I don't see why you lot'd desire to take a look at it.

An okay cartoon that's been buried by the owners considering it makes them nervous
This curt is nothing terribly special. It's an okay cartoon, nothing more or less. But it is unlikely to see the light of solar day until or unless it reaches public domain, because of racial stereotypes that are no longer acceptable. While I tin can see their indicate (and the short is past no means a masterpiece), at that place are shorts equally mundane and inconsequential shown every day. This should exist available at least for historical purposes, although I can run across a point to non airing it for broadcast. Worth watching at least once. Recommended due to its scarcity for completists.

Angel Puss is the most appalling of the "Censored 11" cartoons
Well, information technology took until I watched the 10th of the Warner Bros. "Censored 11" cartoons, simply Angel Puss is the most appalling of them. And the nigh shocking thing about this is the fact that Chuck Jones-the one who usually made some of the virtually clever Bugs/Daffy/Elmer shorts ever and had some of the most cute ones in his catalogue-was behind information technology. The atrocious premise is that Sambo (yes, Jones used the stereotypical black boy name here) has to drown a true cat for his boss or he has to forfeit his "iv bits". Merely that'southward non the really bad affair here. Information technology's the fact that the cat is actually behind him telling him to do this and Sambo is way also dumb to notice-especially when the cat later on paints himself white with wings-that results in a wild goose hunt that lasts throughout the short. Add in the awful vocalization and characterization (I wonder if Mel Blanc ever held himself in shame over this), and yous've got the worst cartoon I've seen yet from Warner Bros. The but positive matter I tin can say is that Sambo's singing of "Shortnin' Breadstuff" isn't too bad.

Not bad
"Angel Puss" is pretty much a typical decent cartoon of the day, it's not bad merely has zero special virtually it either, it's just kind of in that location to bring a few laughs.
A woman (unseen) gives a little black kid two bits to drown her cat, and the kid feels bad and won't do it. But so the true cat sneaks out of handbag and pretends to be the kid'southward censor, trying to get him to drown the "true cat" ("go ahead Sambo, go ahead male child") and making the kid do it later all ("2 bits is two bits") and and then painting himself white, pretending to exist a ghost and tormenting the kid from there, even later on the kid feels really bad ("I's money mad, just money mad").
This is i of the famous "banned" cartoons because of racism, although in that location's not really much to mutter about. The kid says some stupid things ("that certain is wet water") but most characters in cartoons say stupid things. He'southward drawn exaggeratedly, again every bit most characters in these cartoons are. The true cat referring to Sambo as "boy" and a gag where the "ghost" true cat gets the boy to come up to him in a zombie-ish state after shaking a pair of dice are the worst offenders.
This is fun to watch, but you really wouldn't keep playing this over and over again like you would, say, "Coal Black" or "Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat." Not bad at all, just nothing special.

Good story, simply...
This drawing is an example of practiced stories done the wrong fashion. It seems that writer Lou Lilly (he wrote this brusque, NOT Warren Foster) suggested the thought of a lilliputian child having to drown a cat but the cat manages to survive and heckles him then, sounds good so far, simply they decided to become with the racial stereotyping, causing this cartoon to exist shoved in the vaults. I believe they could have perfectly used one of the "regular" characters in this cartoon (this could take been a good time for Porky to evidence upwards), as the jokes themselves are not racist at all (except evidently for the gambling scene). The music is expert, but nothing you haven't heard in whatever other Carl Stalling cartoon, the blitheness is good and filled with those facial expressions that only Chuck Jones made. All in all, a good short with a good story that may sadly never be shown on TV, the only public domain video that has it is called "Uncensored Cartoons", but since it seems to be discontinued, y'all'll have to work your manner hard into the video stores if y'all want to watch this cartoon.

another racist one
Yes, it'due south some other long-lost Looney Tunes cartoon chock full of racial stereotypes. This i portrays an African-American male child sent to drown a cat, just the feline gets away, encourages the male child to toss the bag into the harbor, and so pretends to be its own ghost. Virtually people will probably concur that we should only watch these cartoons to see what kinds of images pervaded pop media during certain eras. "Affections Puss" would be a prime instance.
Most of the humour comes when the male child keeps getting scared past the cat pretending to be an apparition. But mostly, I find information technology difficult to laugh at black-face up images.

And This Fourth dimension Brother, Us Own't Kiddin'
Compared to the other directors at Schlesinger's, Jones was probably the most modest offender when it came to using racial stereotypes. The Inki cartoons, for the most part, were benign aside from Inki'due south basic design.
Angel PUSS sticks out like a sore thumb in Jones' filmography. In add-on to negative stereotypes, animal abuse is played for laughs, which has made information technology the nearly disliked entry of the fabled Censored xi. A black boy named Sambo is paid to drown a cat, merely the cat gets abroad and pretends to be a ghost; Playing on the cliche that African Americans were supposedly afraid of ghosts. It is unclear whether the true cat himself is an African-American character or if he is mocking the dialect.
Unlike some of the other celebrated Censored eleven shorts, there aren't really any redeeming qualities. It's slow and not at all interesting. The only artistic value that this short really has is the layouts, bluish color scheme, and Jones' signature poses and facial expressions.
It has been pointed out that some flick goers protested the stereotypes in this brusque during its original release. I have long wondered how some of the directors felt about some of their un-pc work when it became unacceptable in afterwards years. It has been said that Jones himself avoided talking almost this short. Which is unfortunate, since we may never know how this sole blatantly racist brusk in Jones' filmography came virtually.

Grossly offensive
Those people who go along well-nigh political correctness gone mad volition highlight this motion picture as something mildly offensive that has been denied to the general public past self appointed censors.
Angel Puss is a racist cartoon short. I was shocked by the racism.
It makes me sad that Chuck Jones was involved in making this. An Oscar winning legend in the world of blitheness. I shudder to remember what views he had of black people during the 1940s.
The tale is of a young, lazy, impaired blackness boy called Sambo who plays upwards to the stereotype and who has been told past his dominate to drown a true cat.
Yes a children'due south drawing where someone is forced to drown a cat. Nonetheless the cat is no innocent and at one betoken whites himself up.
Mel Blanc (White in French) should also be singled out for his phonation piece of work that plays with the stereotypical nature of the characters.
At that place are proficient reasons why this cartoon are function of xi that Warner Brothers have withdrawn.

The worst and most offensive of the "Censored 11" cartoons
Not all the "Censored 11" cartoons are bad, and some of them are not that racist or offensive today and are actually pretty tame.
Some of the racism and racial stereotyping in other cartoons is much more blatant, including 'All This and Rabbit Stew' and 'Jungle Jitters'. From memory, the worst and about offensive of the lot was this, 'Angel Puss'. On re-watch, it is an opinion that this opinion nevertheless shares.
Not just blatantly racist, with stereotypes that makes 1 squirm, and parts that are not for those easily offended and much of it was offensive, merely 'Affections Puss' is too a poor cartoon in its own correct.
The only good things well-nigh it are some of the animation, which is unmistakable Chuck Jones and has some imaginative detail, with exception of the very poorly drawn and uncomfortably exaggerated main character, reminding i of the hunter grapheme in 'All This and Rabbit Stew', and the vibrant and lively music score.
However, 'Affections Puss' is sorely lacking in laughs, instead being stupid and ridiculous. The story is far likewise sadistic in places, especially the suffering of the principal character via the cat, is dull and constantly uncomfortably weird. The principal character is banal and irritating, and the true cat evoked the same reaction that the story did. Dialogue is unfunny and stilted.
Don't expect the unremarkably brilliant Mel Blanc to save information technology. He does in all fairness have poor material just he doesn't do annihilation with it and is more than abrasive rather than exuberant, never has he voiced so poorly than here.
Overall, of the "Censored eleven" cartoons 'Angel Puss' is the worst and the ane that makes one feel uncomfortable and offends the most. 3/ten Bethany Cox

Warner Bros. heroically tries to warn America'due south Urban Population . . .
Alert: Spoilers
. . . well-nigh the dangers of gambling, peculiarly Craps, but past implication the Numbers Game every bit well, with this brief cartoon, Angel PUSS. While some people might see the doomed feline title character as the victim here, a close examination is required to spot Warner's Truthful Meaning. ANGEL PUSS is a glib, fast-talking, perfidious CAT, representing America's Fatty True cat slumlords, Johnnie-Come-Lately outsider bodega shysters, and local Crime Lords who prey upon the Poor and Under-Educated filling America's ghettos. Affections PUSS is a condescending, patronizing, Racist Fat Cat to boot, calling his Black Male keeper "Boy" and "Sambo" every chance he gets. Warner suggests that ANGEL PUSS is only begging for a .22 slug betwixt his lying eyes. However, when Angel PUSS begins manipulating the mailboxes of the USPS, this is Warner'due south way of warning Blacks to be particularly weary if the Regime e'er horns in on the Numbers Dissonance itself. Tragically, this 1944 prophecy of doom was COVERED Upward past that Racist Southerner Ted "The 'Tomahawk Chopping'" Turner, owner of the Atlanta Braves, who seized command of Warner's Looney Tunes Early Warning Division so that he could suppress, hide, and prevent access to his so-called "Censored 11," as a style of helping the Racist Confederate states to hold the Blackness Human being downwards in a perpetual bondage of harassment, unemployment, incarceration, and death-by-cop. Even the NAACP has declared that "Powerball" and "MegaMillions" is a PROGRESSIVE Taxation whose primary purpose is to keep America's Urban Population "in cheque" past sucking resources out of the Hood. Anyone who watches the News knows that well-nigh of the Players are Black, but almost ALL the winners are White! Warner outlined this dire danger in ANGEL PUSS to forestall it from rearing its ugly Racist Caput in Real Life, only Ted Turner and his bigoted Henchpeople undid Warner'southward Contour in Courage!

No duh, Sherlock, these were meant to exist offensive!
Warning: Spoilers
I do get that this is an united nations-reputable short, particularly under the management of Chuck Jones, however, I do like some of the scenes. Animation is nifty, and information technology is a bit offensive, but the time these were made, the Usa had segregation, bigotry, lynching, and all other sorts of stuff. The only thing that they should have eliminated was that accent. Other than that, it's pretty normal.
It's not really funny, but it'southward worth watching once for a historical reference.
