When this cartoon aired on The Mickey Mouse Club (1955) in the 1950s, the ending scene was cut short and remained so until it was released on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD, "More Silly Symphonies", in 2006, which features both the cut and uncut versions of the short.

I guess I'd have to ask why someone would do a cartoon featuring cannibals. They are portrayed as skinny little black men with wide mouths. I'm sure it was good fodder for all the racists in the audience. After a good deal of frolicking, an enormous lion shows up and all the "natives" scurry away. Except for one guy who hides in an enormous cauldron. I assume it's the one these guys use to cook their friends. The lion does everything he can do to eat this guy, but there are complications. Anyway, these kinds of portrayals were just too common in the early Disney stuff.
