So White and the Censored Dwarfs
16 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I wasn't sure what to expect with this (in)famous Warner Brothers' spoof of Disney's Snow White, I can understand that the style of the animation looks racist today but had the character design been a bit different it would have probably have been acceptable with only one or two other changes.

In this version of the tale the wicked queen is jealous of "So White" so calls Murder Inc. to "black out So White", they grab her but later let her go, we can guess why as they have lipstick on them. She then meets up with the seven dwarfs who are in the army. The Queen then sends a poisoned apple to So White, this puts her to sleep and Prince Chawmin' tries to wake her with a kiss (several times) after he gives up one of the Dwarfs kisses her and she wakes up, he is asked how he did it and he replies suggestively that that is a military secret.

I suspect this cartoon was aimed at an adult audience as So White is drawn in a way that is more sexually provocative than a character one would expect in a children's cartoon. The most offensive joke is Murder Inc's advert saying they will rub out anybody for a dollar, midgets half price and Japanese people for free, and it used a derogatory term for the last.

I must admit that I found it fairly funny, certainly not as offensive as I thought it might be.
