Jungle Jitters 1938

"Jungle Jitters" is a 1938 animated short film produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons as part of their Merrie Melodies series. Directed by Friz Freleng, the cartoon is set in a jungle inhabited by a tribe of dark-skinned natives with exaggerated features. The film follows a hapless salesman who stumbles upon the tribe and becomes the target of their cannibalistic desires.

The cartoon is known for its stereotypical portrayal of African cultures and its use of blackface humor. It has been criticized for its offensive and insensitive content, and it is considered one of the "Censored Eleven" Warner Bros. cartoons, which were banned from television broadcast for many years due to their racially insensitive content.
