LIFE BEGINS FOR ANDY PANDA
Walter Lantz's black & white Asian marsupial ends up being hunted by black african natives. You might want to say you can't make this stuff up, but Lantz did.

A Walter Lantz production that ranks among the top of all American race cartoons wherein an urbane Mama loosely based on Lena Horne goes deepintheheartadixie to teach the country locals how to jazz up their workaday lives with boogie woogie jive. Incredible music that stands as solid proof that the white musicians playing it truly loved it!
LITTLE BLACK SAMBO
Castle Film's disturbing portrayal of an otherwise nice black african native and his jungle adventures.
UNCLE TOM AND LITTLE EVA
Part of the Official Films series of "Jungle Jinx" cartoons supposing to tell the story of Uncle Tom's cabin in a rather personalized and ethnocentric manner!
OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM
A great Noveltoon sing-along animation where Mary's little lambs turn their fleeces as black as coal right before your eyes!
LITTLE OL' BOSKO AND THE CANNIBALS
In obvious homage to the music of the great Fats Waller, this often terribly charicatured character is used as a vehicle for some of the best animation and jazz music ever to be put to film, as Bosko's cookie trip to Grandma's house ends up with the Frog King Louis Armstrong & tribe trying to cook him alive!
POP-PIE A LA MODE
A shipwrecked Popeye ends up on a desert island inhabited by - what else? - deepintheheartofafrica cannibals!
VOODOO IN HARLEM
A Walter Lantz production that shows African natives doin' their hoodoo thing in Upper Manhattan in a manner very like the "Out Of The Inkwell" series of cartoons by Max Fleischer.

What's a mockingbird to do when a supersticious cat wants to eat crow and the crow he wants to eat is you? You work the superstitions, Jack, and that's what this Rochester of a boid done dood.
A NOVELTOON FEATURING RAGGEDY ANN - SUDDENLY IT'S SPRING
An otherwise beautiful, breath-taking, heart-warming story of a girl deathly sick in the midst of winter who needs sunshine to get well. Her Dolly knows it, and to save her she journeys through elemental space to intercede with the Sun. The journey brings her into contact with a number of natural spirits, chief among them a personification of the clouds in a caricature crazier than any this side of cloud nine!
FELIX THE CAT - OUTDOOR INDORE
The skin show here makes it clear that sambo-type representations of African Americans could do dual duty representing the dark denizens of the Indian subcontinent in this nearly-inexplicable cartoon brimming with all that early cartoons needed to get away from and having something to do with abducting an elephant into the circus.
PAUL TERRY PRESENTS THE TALKING MAGPIES - A TERRY-TOON IN TECHNICOLOR {AKA HECKLE AND JECKLE - THE TALKING MAGPIES (V.1)}

MIGHTY MOUSE - SWISS CHEESE FAMILY ROBINSON
We're shipwrecked again, and unlike Bosko, we know it's an island, but it's populated by black Africans again and they're cookin' up their guest as usual - but not if Mighty Mouse has any say about it!
A Race Cartoon is an animation produced in the United States between about 1915 and the early 1950s, consisting of cartoons produced for general audiences, black and white alike, and depicting black caricatures and/or stereotypes. Race Cartoons are a subset of the Race Film or Race Movie genre of films, consisting of movies produced for black audiences, and featuring black casts. Since race cartoons were produced within the Hollywood system, they continued to be shown in theaters and on television until pressure was brought upon the theaters and television stations that showed them to either censor them or not show them at all. Because race films were produced outside the Hollywood studio system, they were largely forgotten by mainstream film historians until they resurfaced in the 1980s on the BET cable network. In their day, race cartoons were very popular among the general American public, and race films were very popular among African-American theatergoers. Their influence continues to be felt in cinema and television in a conflicted mix of ways.
