Welcome to our latest Looney Tunes review! In this episode, we dive into "Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs" from 1943, directed by Bob Clampett. Joined by my good friend SC MacPeter, we explore this 391st instalment—one of the infamous Censored 11. We discuss the historical context, notable trivia, and the unique animation techniques that make this short stand out—including its ties to jazz culture, World War II, and the complex legacy of its racial caricatures. We also highlight fun cameos, voice actor trivia, and the cartoon’s place in Looney Tunes history. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!
