Default Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs

In an attempt to give support to ASIFA 's work yours Duck Dodgers and mmm...donuts made some posts about Steve Worth's work !

Watch the recent post made by mmm...donuts which shows the differences between the old print of " Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs " to which we are accustomed and the gorgeous print donated by John K to ASIFA !

Whoooee!

I would love to have a copy that looked that good. Mine is in such horrible shape and very blurry Kudos to the owner of that excellent copy of a great masterpiece.

I saw it and it looks great! Hopefully Warner Home Video will release it on an upcoming Golden Collection set.


But what I really need is a crystal-clear print of UNCLE TOM'S BUNGALOW.

Perhaps the Volume 3 Golden collection is just a tune up and/or "weather balloon" to test how those PC winds are blowing......

A great "From the Vault" four pack would be

"Clean Pastures"
"September In the Rain"
"Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs"
"Tin Pan Alley Cats"


All are excellent jivin' music cartoons!

I knew that ever since I saw the Whoopi Goldberg intro when I first got my Golden Collection. I mean, yeah, a lot of people hated it, but it did make good points that cartoons like Coal Black and the other Censored 11 shouldn't be locked away because of the outdated stereotypes (which implies that, maybe, just maybe, future volumes will be like Volume 3 [mixing the classics people remember from Saturday Morning airings and the rare stuff that only animation buffs will want]).

Still those pictures look beautiful restored and I hope the cartoon appears that way should it ever come on DVD.

When you think about it, COAL BLACK really isn't that racist. It's just an African American parody of Disney's SNOW WHITE, which pays homage to African American music. The only thing racist in the cartoon are Prince Chawmin's dice front teeth, which references the stereotype of black people shooting craps. The same thing goes for CLEAN PASTURES. That cartoon also pays homage to African American music and its composers such as Cab Calloway and Fats Waller. People would have thought nothing of that cartoon if they were caricatures of white celebrities. ALL THIS AND RABBIT STEW can be another example. The dopey hunter is just a black version of Elmer Fudd. People see this as being offensive, yet they find nothing about Elmer offensive to white people. Like COAL BLACK, the only racist part of the cartoon is the reference to crap shooting.

That dopey character is really a caricature of Stepan Fetchit.

What about the sign in the cartoon that offers to get rid of "Japs" for 1/2 off?
