"Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs"
[Warner Bros./Vitaphone Jan 1943]
 | Yup, there was such a film, and it was made & released by a major studio. In its time, it was considered a funny parody on the "Snow White" feature film released by Disney in 1937, but in later years has become offensive to many. Banned for release by United Artists in 1968; rarely seen on TV and not released on home video. The color short has a reputation for excellence, for the animation as well as for the jazz & swing music score. Produced by Leon Schlesinger; directed by Bob Clampett still unavailable on DVD • two nice 7½-minute versions on YouTube were removed watch full cartoon [11/2014 upload; 7:10] online at Daily Motion full credits from IMDb • cartoon entry at Wikipedia • cartoon entry at Big Cartoon Database |
