Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs
Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs was an
animated cartoon directed by
Bob Clampett for
Warner Bros in
1943. It is notorious for being one of the
Censored Eleven: one of several Warner Bros. cartoons produced at the height of the
Golden Age of Hollywood animation based on politically incorrect racial humor. The racial overtones of the cartoon led to its being banned, and it has rarely been shown on
television in the years since its release. Nevertheless,
Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs is often praised and defended by film scholars and animation historians. It has occasionally been included on lists of the greatest animated films ever made.
