I don’t believe I was fully aware of the Censored Eleven before now. I have previously discussed some Looney Tunes being pulled by specific cable providers as is the case with Hillbilly Hare, but these films are of older vintage and have been kept mostly out of circulation by the studio itself. They haven’t even been presented recently with their now (in)famous disclaimer.

These shorts stand out not die to an off-color intended-for-adults comment here or there, but because they’re thematically racist and problematic to varying degrees, even more so than their propaganda films.

As such I modified my original intention of posting these films over the course of three months as many people will not have an appetite to watch more than a few.

Most of these shorts are available in one convenient Internet Archive playlist (linked to below). The Internet Archive swaps out Hallelujah Land for a Bosko title. The shorts do get increasingly more difficult to watch, so buyer beware. Hallelujah Land is one of the tamest titles of the bucnch and the one I saw first.

These films also made worse when you consider Warners released about one of these a year in a short period of time.
