The long running Looney Tunes Franchise ran into some problematic shorts during war time and we're here to break it all down in this podcast with pop culture writer Mike Manolo and producer Stephanie Sandmeier!

 

The Looney Tunes created shorts from 1941-1944 that focused on selling a specific image to the US public in movie theaters, that would persuade men and women to support the war for the Allies. America was pushed into the war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and that's when the Japanese soldier became an image subjugated to awful steroetypes that not only effected kids' perceptions of asians abroad, but here in the States as well. This was a terrible time of insensitive depictions of asians and pacific islanders.

Films Discussed:

Yellowface: Asian Whitewashing and Racism in Hollywood - Directed by Clara and Julia Kuperberg. The film is now available on HboMax.

Shorts Discussed:

Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur - (1939) Chuck Jones

Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips - (1944) Friz Freleng

Tokio Jokio - (1943) Norman McCabe

Looney Tunes News:

Casper Caveman and Fido from Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur have entered the World of Mayhem in all their time traveling glory!

These shorts are all in the public domain and it's important that we don't forget what was created before so that we may learn from this mistakes.
