Goldilocks lips3/2/2023 ![]() Why was Goldilocks placed in the Censored Eleven in 1968? The big lips of the bears, the wolf, and the messenger provided visual ethnic stereotyping that animators largely avoided by 1968. The post-1944 cartoons, however, traded African Americans for European Americans and animals without ethnic features. Studios still made jazz cartoons for years afterward, and in 1957 Friz Freleng, who directed Goldilocks, directed a cartoon with a rock-and-roll score–Three Little Bops. ![]() Jazz in the 1940s had big-name European American entertainers like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. Not only had ethnic criticism begun, but jazz itself had expanded beyond African American stars. But the reissue was at the tail-end of the era of animated African American caricature within a few months, the maid of MGM’s “Tom and Jerry” series made her final appearance in Push-Button Kitty.Įven with the original release in 1944, the African American jazz cartoon was on its last legs Walter Lantz’s “Swing Symphonies” ended the following year. Goldilocks performed well enough to warrant a “Blue Ribbon” reissue in 1951, and it still avoided controversy at that point. It escaped the criticism of African American newspapers and civil rights groups at the time, perhaps because the animals dominate screen time in Goldilocks other films like Angel Puss and Sunday Go to Meetin’ Time were targeted for their African American human leads. The cartoon received positive reviews when released late in 1944. Red and her grandmother insist of dancing with the wolf–much to the wolf’s frustration. He goes to Red’s grandmother’s house to rest, but the bears find him and resume playing jazz. The bears proceed to play jazz, and Goldilocks is compelled to dance with the wolf until he is exhausted. Just as he catches her in the house, the bears return and mistake the wolf’s entanglement with Goldilocks for jitterbugging. They leave the house, and a wolf looking for Red sees Goldilocks enter the bears’ house. ![]() Interestingly, the African American bears in Goldilocks are not a family but three male bears of different sizes living in the same house. The mixture in Goldilocks and the Jivin’ Bears is reminiscent of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s cartoons pairing an African American boy named Bosko with big-lipped caricatures of jazz musicians as frogs.īy the time of Goldilocks, Warner Brothers had already parodied the old story in Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears, which features a family of bears. In other episodes the caricature is either only on people, as in Clean Pastures, or on animals, as in Tin Pan Alley Cats. The cartoon is also unique in the list for having a wide array of creatures with African American caricature three humans (Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, and a messenger), three bears, and a wolf all have big lips and speak in dialect. The film is also the only film among the eleven to have been produced by Eddie Selzer, who replaced his predecessor Leon Schlesinger earlier that year. It is the most recent of the Censored Eleven cartoons from Warner Brothers.
