Before you can get to see "Cannibal Capers" and a few other 'special' cartoons on the "Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies" DVD set, you are forced to watch an introduction by Leonard Maltin. He talks about the times in which they were made and how politically incorrect the films are. I am not against this, but hate how once you view it, you must ALWAYS view Maltin's speech again if you come back to any of the offensive cartoons. The same thing happens in some of the other Treasures DVDS--such as the second Donald Duck set.
When you see "Cannibal Capers", it's immediately clear why the cartoon was considered bad. The characters are all big-lipped Ubangis--and very stereotypical ones. My wife, oddly, thought they were ducks--though she might not have thought that if she'd seen the title first.
Yes, this one is offensive but it's also charming if you can totally divorce yourself from what you are seeing (huh?!).
