This is disturbing trash. To think that people found this to be funny, Bob Clampett mocking blacks for laughs. I usually like his animated shorts, but this is horrible. It boasts a nice soundtrack, but the dialogue and characterisations are nothing short of degrading.
Aside from that aspect, it's basically a stupid cartoon. I guess it's humour relies too much on the viewer to think black people are foolish and silly.
Should it be locked up? No, thats a stupid liberal answer. I don't think it should be embraced either, but it certainly is a good example of the kind of treatment african-americans got in the early days of cinema.
