One of the "Censored 11" banned from T.V. syndication by United Artists in 1968 (then the owners of the Looney Tunes film library) for alleged racism. Ted Turner continued the ban when he was hired and stated that these films will not be re-issued and will not be put on Home Video. These cartoons will probably never air on television again, and only non-Warner Bros. licensed public domain video tapes will probably ever have these cartoons on them.
Uncle Tom breaks the fourth wall in this cartoon when he says "My body may belong to you, but my soul belongs to Warner Brothers." This references Warner Bros., the company that produces the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes cartoons.
