Jungle Jitters! [NSFW]

The Golden Age of Cartoons brought families to the movie theater to see the six minute cartoon shorts from Disney, Warner Bros., MGM, Lantz and Paramount films. Unfortunately many themes of the Golden Age were considered extremely negative to today's standards.

There were some of the most offensive, racist, disturbing and yet brilliant cartoons from the days of Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones.

The mascot of Warner Bros. is Bugs Bunny. The undisputed face of American culture, Bugs and his friends ruled the movie theaters. Families would often laugh at the antics of Bugs, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester & Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn. 

But like all cartoons, there were some things you couldn't escape. 

Ted Turner the famed media mogul and philanthropist bought Hanna-Barbera, MGM, Fleischer Studios and started the Cartoon Network in 1992.

Now you know that Warner Bros cartoons are priceless. Even though some are often seen on Cartoon Network or its spin off channel Boomerang most of the Warner Bros. cartoons are censored. 

Of course here's the catch of most Warner Bros. cartoons from 1928 to 1959 were racist, pro-military propaganda, depicting the characters in stereotypical themes, Blackface and sometimes cursing.

This video that is featured on YouTube is called Jungle Jitters. it's officially one of the most offensive cartoons to be ever made. 

It's controversial. Be warned that even the first two minutes are extremely racist.

Jungle Jitters is a one-reel animated cartoon short subject in the Merrie Melodies series, produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on February 19, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Vitaphone Corporation. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger and directed by Friz Freleng, with musical supervision by Carl W. Stalling and voices by Mel Blanc.

The cartoon features a number of racial stereotypes throughout the short (such as people in blackface), which prompted United Artists to withhold this cartoon from syndication in 1968, making it one of the Censored Eleven.
