Porky's Poppa is a 1938 Looney Tunes short directed by Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones.

Plot

"Old McDonald" plays at Porky Pig's Poppa's farm. It's beast vs. machine when Porky's Poppa's cow stops producing milk and forces him to order an ACME Creamlined Cow.

Censorship

The Nickelodeon version of this cartoon cuts the part where, as Bessie is "birthing" bottles of milk, one of them turns out to be a bottle of chocolate milk with "I Wish I Was in Dixie" plays in the background and Bessie and Porky bashfully look away (the joke being that Bessie "birthed" a black child and, back when this cartoon was made, a white woman birthing a black child was considered socially taboo). Cartoon Network (both on and off The Bob Clampett Show) and Boomerang have aired this uncut.
