Porky's Road Race - Stepin Fetchit

The scene in the uncut computer-colorized version

  • When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon (both as a redrawn colorized version and a computer colorized version), the scene at the beginning of the race where all the drivers speed off was cut to remove the part where a vehicle driven by Stepin Fetchit, a black character actor known for playing shiftless, lazy black men, trails behind them.[3]
    • Cartoon Network also edited the same scene Nickelodeon did, but only in their computer-colorized version (which is also the version that airs on Boomerang). However, some airings of the computer-colorized version on Cartoon Network were uncut, as well as the original black and white version shown on Late Night Black and White.

Notes[]

  • On W7 prints of the redrawn colorized version of this cartoon, the cartoon opens with the W7 logo with its 1967-1969 fanfare playing, and the W7 closing titles play the 1955-1964 Looney Tunes theme instead of the original ending theme to the cartoon. Pre-W7 and 1972 prints however, use the correct theme.
  • The redrawn colorized version used the incorrect 1937-1938 font lettering instead of the correct 1936-1937 font lettering.
  • The working title was "Porky's Auto Race".
  • Vitaphone release number: 7716
