Brother Brat
(1944)

BROTHER BRAT
Porky Pig babysits a violent brat named Butch for a mother who works at "Blockheed". This was shown recently, removing the baby making a reference to Hitler. I was surprised they didn't cut this: Mother: "You want those Nazis and Japs bombed off the Earth, don'tcha?" This is a Frank Tashlin classic.

Any Bonds Today?
(1942)

Rare Short
In this rare 1 1/2 minute cartoon, Bugs Bunny encourages us to buy war bonds to the music of Irving Berlin. After a bit of dancing, Bugs does a blackface ala Al Jolson, and then is joined for the finale by Elmer Fudd(the fat version) and Porky Pig. The short was rushed into production shortly after Pearl Harbor and was released in March of 1942.

Garden Gopher
(1950)

Dog Vs. Gopher
Spike the Bulldog tries to bury a bone, but a pesky gopher throws it back at him, starting a hilarious battle of wits. Many prints of this film today are edited. In the original version, Spike pours gun powder around the gopher's hole, but the gopher comes out and pours grease where he's standing. Spike lights the fuse and runs like mad, not realizing that he's not going anywhere and he gets caught in the explosion. After the smoke clears, we see Spike as a black stereotype doing a slow shuffle while the sound track plays "Old Black Joe" or something like that.
