Porky's Ant

Porky's Ant is a 1941 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones.
== Plot ==
Accompanied by Inki the native supply carrier, Porky Pig goes on safari for the rare pygmy ant of Central Africa which is valued at $150,000. The ant (also stereotyped) is discovered. The chase is on, with all kinds of antics as Porky tries to capture the pygmy ant. The ant outwits Porky and his less-than-bright native bearer. Ultimately though, the ant saves them from an attacking lion, thereby earning a handsome trophy.

== Censorship ==
* On the rare times this short aired on Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon, it was always a severely edited version that deletes all the scenes with Porky's pygmy companion.
== Notes ==
* The short's title card is the same as "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" and "Good Night Elmer", but in black-and-white instead of 3-hue Technicolor.
* This cartoon entered the public domain in 1969 because Warner Bros.-Seven Arts didn't renew the copyright.
* The cartoon is seldom aired on American television today due to African stereotyping.
* This cartoon marks Inki's only appearance in a black-and-white cartoon.
