Vivian Dandridge in Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943)
"Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs" One of the 11 shorts banned from TV syndication by United Artists in 1968 (then the owners of the pre-1947 color Looney Tunes shorts) for alleged racism. (IMDb trivia) Studio: Warner Bros. Year: 1943 Director: Bob Clampett, who declared about the cartoon (quote Wikipedia): "I was approached in Hollywood by the cast of an all-black musical off-broadway production called Jump For Joy while they were doing some special performances in Los Angeles [...] They did all the voices for that cartoon, even though Mel Blanc's contract with Warners gave him sole voice credit for all Warners cartoons by then. There was nothing racist or disrespectful toward blacks intended in that film at all [...] Everybody, including blacks had a good time when these cartoons first came out. All the controversy about these two cartoons has developed in later years merely because of changing attitudes toward black civil rights that have happened since then." -
