Finally got a chance to see this legendary, long-suppresed "racist"
cartoon, via Google video:

If you can get put up with the stereotypes (which are at least good-
natured rather than hostile), this is a pleasant enough example of
director Robert Clampett's work, though IMHO not in the same league as
his 1946 masterpiece "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery".
One surprise -- there's a brief reference to Citizen Kane!
