Question about a T&J short!

[T&J]

Hello!

My name is Hans, and I live in Denmark and just joined this board.
I have a question about a certain Tom & Jerry short.
When I was younger I used to have a T&J short on video, in which Jerry & Nibbles comes out of Jerry´s (hole?), dressed as indians or something with black faces, and then Jerry says "Well, how are you doing Mr. Thomas?", in Mammy´s voice. And I used to laugh much about this scene.
But now I can´t find this short anywhere. I got a box-set from Japan last year, but it´s not there...! Maybe it has now been censored or something, but can anyone tell me the title of the short?
Also, is it on the just released Spotlight Collection???

Thanks in advance!

Hans! :tomcat: :jerry:

That's "The Milky Waif". The scene is now censored from every single print in current rotation, including the one CN airs, the one on the Japanese Laserdiscs, and the version on the "Spotlight Collection" DVD.

Here's exactly how the scene goes:

Jerry runs with Nibbles out the kitchen, they hide inside a closet (by going under the door). Tom punches the wall trying to break in. Inside, Jerry uses shoe polish to paint his face black. Jerry walks out the closet with his face all black wearing some Mammy-type clothes. He says something like "How are you doin', massa Thomas?", which is followed by "Come out there Honey Child!" and Nibbles comes out, as well in blackface. However, Nibbles' clothes fall from his body, blowing up his cover. Nibbles runs away, Tom chases him, and Jerry hits Tom in the face with a frying pan.

The edited version cuts from Jerry and Nibbles running out the kitchen to Tom being hit in the face. The cut is such a sloppy edit that even if you haven't seen the original you can tell something is gone.

Hey Javeman,

Thank you for your fast reply!
Boy...that´s a shame! Let´s hope we can get that new WB disc replaced very soon!!! Thanks again!

I hope to find this cartoon uncut on Kazaa, BearShare or Shereza!
*fingers crossed*

The scene as you describe it sounds funnier than I'd expected. We'll await the opportunity to see this one day.

just buy the Spotlight Collection and exchange your first disc, bingo.
