There was a compilation of old Popeye cartoons released on DVD.

The set contained a WARNING LABEL stating that the content was for adult collector interest only and not suitable for minors.

Most of the cartoon anthologies have that. The Warner Golden Collections are notable, though the label is deserved; one Bugs cartoon in particular has Our Hero sneaking into the South to get to a record carrot crop. He has to get past Yosemite Sam (as a civil war soldier who doesn’t know the war is over) to get there, and at one point Bugs goes into blackface, complete with the “yassuh mastah” routine: “don’ beat me massuh, i be good” etc.

It’s not “Bugs Nips the Nips”, but it’s not much better.
