Fourteen Toons Censored

The Fourteen Toons Censored is an unofficial term for fourteen Silly Symphonies, Disney Cartoons, pre-1935 and post-1935 Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes on black and white shorts, pre-1948 Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts and post-1948 Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts that were removed from United States television by United Artists and Disney/Warner Bros. Entertainment in 1968 due to racial stereotyping of black people.

== Controversy ==
However, racial themes are so prominent in these fourteen cartoons that United Artists and Disney/Warner Bros. Entertainment believed that no amount of selective editing could ever make them acceptable for distribution.
== Notes ==
* "Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land" was the only Piggy cartoon on the list. "Mickey's Man Friday" was the only Mickey Mouse cartoon on the list. "Zula Hula" was the only Betty Boop cartoon on the list. "All This and Rabbit Stew" was the only Bugs Bunny cartoon on the list, and "Uncle Donald's Ants" was the only Donald Duck cartoon on the list.
== Release Discussion ==
the only 4 Fourteen Toons Censored shorts have already been restored and included on DVD as "Cannibal Capers" (1930), "Mickey's Man Friday" (1935), "Zula Hula " (1937) and "Uncle Donald's Ants" (1952) while the other 10 shorts are unrestored.
