The Criterion Collection recently put together this cool and somewhat chilling montage comprised of Alfred Hitchcock films. Hitchcock was a master filmmaker, who knew how to evoke emotion both on and off screen. So much is told from a simple close-up of his actors and the emotion in their eyes.
We all knew Porky Pig was anti-semitic (which is ironic because Jewish people don’t even eat pork) but who knew all the Looney Toons all had such a racist past? Well, honestly everyone did. It’s no secret that Looney Toons and Disney had some pretty awful cartoons back in the day. One such cartoon was ‘All this rabbit stew’ from back in 1941. The cartoon is described by Matt Crowley (Splitsider.com) as: In many ways, this short resembles a typical Elmer Fudd hunting rabbit scenario, but where Fudd’s stupidity is generic, the African American hunter’s is specifically racial.

For those of you who are curious how these theories were conceived, TheAntiLove gives some explination: The Little Mermaid: Caribbean Although the author and original story are Danish, the wildlife is clearly tropical. There is simply no way to have that type of flora and fauna anywhere near Denmark.
