Query: maybe they should have stayed forgotten?

It's true that van Beuren studios made animation history with some of these short features. There are some astonishingly sophisticated anime effects, great colouring, and so forth, in many of the shorts. They belong on any serious collector's shelf. But...... for this viewer anyway, the repeated doses of nasty racism really spoiled the experience. Some of these toons should have been excerpted in van Peebles' great documentary "Classified X" -- as indicators of the spirit of their times, they are pretty darn depressing.While I'm NOT in favour of bowdlerizing or other attempts to alter history, I think it's weird that the jacket reviewers make no mention, apologetic or otherwise, of this offensive content. If these toons offended me, a white viewer, what would their impact be on, say, a Black parent who got them for the kids to watch? Sheesh. At least the public deserves a prominent note of warning on the box.
