Censorship[]
The scene in the uncut computer-colorized version
- When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon (both as a redrawn colorized version and a computer colorized version), the scene at the beginning of the race where all the drivers speed off was cut to remove the part where a vehicle driven by Stepin Fetchit, a black character actor known for playing shiftless, lazy black men, trails behind them.[1]
- Cartoon Network also edited the same scene Nickelodeon did, but only in their computer-colorized version (which is also the version that airs on Boomerang). However, some airings of the computer-colorized version on Cartoon Network were uncut, as well as the original black and white version shown on Late Night Black and White.
