'''''Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarfs''''' is a very controversial [[The Golden Age of Animation|1943]] short directed by [[Bob Clampett]] for the [[Merrie Melodies]] series. It is the classic story of "[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]"... provided you modernized the setting, filled it with an all black cast, and had a hot jazz soundtrack to boot. And a lot of outdated stereotypes and [[Wartime Cartoon|Wartime references.]] |
