> I have a grandaughter over and she was watching Tom & Jerry which would be banned by the PC crowd today . I’d bet there were at least 20 “episodes of violence” in that 7 min cartoon. My our society has become oversensitive wienies nowadays.
There’s a Mickey Mouse cartoon where Mickey grabs a shotgun from over the fireplace mantle. Disney’s people have re-worked the cartoon in order to replace the shotgun with a broom. The editing was very good and seamless, but anyone with half a brain instantly will recognize it for what it is and what it should be.
Remember the original version of ET: The Extraterrestial from 1982?
Near the end of the movie, when Elliot, E.T. and Elliot’s friends were on their bicycles trying to evade the feds in order to get E.T. to the mountains to rendezvous with E.T.’s
fellow aliens, the feds in the street were all holding semi-automatic rifles or handguns.
In a later release years later, the guns were gone and the feds were carrying walkie-talkies.
I can top that one with ease. There is a Chuck Jones - Bugs, Daffy & Elmer cartoon focused around which hunting season, Duck or Rabbit Duck!_Rabbit,_Duck!. I pray that the 'editing' was done in station because whoever did it was even dumber than a TSA Agent. The running joke was, of course, fast talking Bugs getting Daffy to say it was Duck season and Elmer doing the shotgun bit. The editing PC Nazi took sizzors to the cartoon so that all you saw was Elmer lifting the shotgun and then Daffy adjusting his beak, not once, not twice but multiple times. The ending was so badly distorted that the viewer had no idea of why Daffy went from admitting to Duck Season to being a mess on the ground and saying to Bugs, "You're desthpicable!"
Amazing that I watched all of those classic cartoons throughout my childhood without having the least desire to go out and kill this TV PC IDIOT!
