Censoring and banning of cartoons is not new. It has been going on for several decades.

Above link is just one of many that discuss cartoons that have been banned or censored.
Do
a Google [ed. Can't use Google as a verb any more; replaced with
an Internet search] on banned cartoons.

Don't forget 'Popeye' with his pipe. And how about all those old 'Bogart' movies!

Oh the injustice of it all! How are kids gonna ever learn that smoking is cool? Especially when one first starts and there's a lot of coughing and stuff, that's when these images are so neceassryy.
First they came for Barney Rubble as spokeperson for Winston's and I didn't complain. Then they came for Tom and Jerry and I still didn't complain enough. When they finally came for Joe Camel it was too late. The whole world had discovered the only thing that was stupid was to continue smoking despite the fact that it kills you more often than not.
Nazi opinion! Nazi opinion! Nazi opinion! Anti! Anti! Anti! Fools all!

Robert Mitchum.
I remember the first time I saw him was in 'ThunderRoad'.
Bet you won't be seeing any old movie "marathons" too much longer.

You said: Don't worry, next Tom won't be dropping anvils, either.

Yes, I can see it now-- the cartoons will depict calm, detached discussions between Tom and Jerry over milk, as to why they just can't get along. We will all flock to see those cartoons-- NOT.

I was thinking calm, detached discussions between Tom and Jerry over milk about how they can get the government to pass legislation preventing the bulldog from slurping when he drinks from his water bowl.
You know, anti-slurping activism and looking out for the greater good.

Better check into some anti-virus software.
