Fans of the classic cartoon Tom and Jerry are furious two episodes deemed ‘inappropriate’ because they feature the cat and mouse ‘blacked-up’ have been removed from a new collection.
Warner Brothers’ Golden Collection Volume Two was intended to be an uncut series of the popular animation in chronological order.
But offending episodes Casanova Cat made in 1951 and Mouse Cleaning from 1948 have been pulled.
In both episodes either the cat or mouse is ‘blacked-up’.
In Casanova Cat Jerry’s face is covered in cigar smoke before he is made to do a minstrel dance.
