== Censorship ==
* The redrawn colorized and computer colorized versions on Nickelodeon severely edited this cartoon to remove all the sequences of the African natives. The redrawn colorized version edited the ending by replacing the shot of Africa as a blackfaced caricature bidding farewell to the viewer with a repeat of the opening pan from Dark Africa to Darkest Africa while the computer-colorized ending freeze-framed on the shot of Africa before it turns into a blackface caricature. Both versions play the audio normally.http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-a.aspx
* Ever since Nickelodeon stopped airing Looney Tunes, this cartoon has seldom aired on American television due to African stereotyping that would be deemed offensive to modern audiences.
== Notes ==
* This short is a parody of the live-action feature film Stanley & Livingstone (1939).
* This cartoon reuses animation from "The Isle of Pingo Pongo", most notably the two fat, native women dancing.
* Cake-Icer is voiced by Kay Kyser himself.
