While not significant in any particular way, we've seen a number of cartoons and television shows taken out of circulation/no longer available because of differing degrees of offense -- Duke of Hazard being a recent one; the old WW2 Bugs Bunny cartoons being another.
- fallous 11y agoYes, the Warner Bros WW2 cartoons (as well as some others deemed offensive) as well as some Disney shorts have been sent down the memory hole. Additionally, I remember when Cartoon Network, amongst others, began editing Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons to remove guns, explosives, etc. Also, Spielberg's re-edit of E.T. to remove the guns from all the government agents, replacing them with cellphones.
- jmspring 11y agoI understand not publicly showing things on broadcast media, but taking them completely out of circulation or revisionist edits without making the originals available is problematic. For me it is the same as the wanton edits Lucas has made on the Star Wars movies, etc.
