The Censored Eleven are cartoons made by Looney Tunes [12] and Merrie Melodies [13] in the 1930′s and 1940′s that, because of their offensive content to today’s audiences, have not been released by their owners since the 1960′s.

How It's Used

“The cartoons, known as the 'Censored 11,' have been unavailable to the public for 40 years. Postings no longer appear if YouTube is searched for 'Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs,' a parody of 'Snow White' and the most famous of the cartoons. But a search for 'Coal Black' does find the cartoon…

“Michael Barrier, author of four books on the history of animation and comics, said the cartoons should be 'presented in an informed way for an intelligent, adult audience.' Mr. Barrier also said the Censored 11’s appearance on YouTube 'shows that there is a demand, so the logical step would be to release them in a way that is profitable for you as a copyright holder.’”

—Daniel E. Slotnik, “Cartoons of a Racist Past Lurk on YouTube,” The New York Times, April 28, 2008.
