Another 1943 cartoon by Bob Clampett that pokes fun at a Disney feature is the controversial “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs.” What makes it controversial is the fun is at the expense of Black people. This video commentary was posted yesterday.

In 1980, four years before Clampett’s death, Leonard Maltin wrote in defense of the cartoon that, “Many independent film makers have labored for years to create a short film as personal and unique as COAL BLACK, which was just one of a dozen shorts Clampett had to put on the assembly line in 1943.”
