I've noticed that Rain Man. They don't even show some Tom & Jerry episodes that I grew up with and they've edited the ones they show. You how something will blow up in either Tom or Jerry's face and they'll have a black face with big lips. The one they don't show, but I rememeber is when they are in Africa and in one scene where Tom is in this huge black pot, Jerry is made up in black face, big lips, and uses poor english.
I guess those some scenes are not considered "politically correct" today.

C&C, the Tom & Jerry cartoon you are referring to was called "His Mouse Friday". It featured Tom in the middle of an ocean laying on a wooden board (shipwreck victim?). A wave flips him off the board on a desert island. I don't remember where Jerry came into play but Jerry took some black off the pot and put it on his face, disguising himself as a cannibal native, and told Tom "Up in pot, UP IN POT!" and has Tom cutting potatoes and carrots. Well, Jerry gets caught up in the moment and does this little native dance, and his grass skirt falls off, giving him away. Well, Tom escapes, only to get caught by real natives, being poked with a spear. One the of the natives said "Ummmmmm! *licking lips* Bahhhhbequed cat." Tom runs off and the natives chase him. Jerry laughs and walks away only to get poked by a spear and one native said "Ummmmmm. *licking lips* Bahhhhhbequed mouse." Well, Jerry runs off with the native chasing after him and the cartoon ends.
I know what 'chu talkin' 'bout.
Yes, I watched T&J religiously as a kid, the "traditional" Fred Quimby ones (1940-57), the CinemaScope ones (1957-60), those wack Gene Dietch one with the weird sound effects (1960-64?), those "aiiight" Chuck Jones toons (1965-69?), and even those wack Filmation toons (1970s). I did my homework.
