Was honestly expecting something much more offensive, considering that it's a "Censored 11" cartoon.
Admittedly not everything is in good taste and not for the easily offended, but there are far worse examples of racism and offensive elements in other "Censored 11". Especially 'Angel Puss' (by far the worst of the lot) and 'Jungle Jitters', also to a lesser extent 'All This and Rabbit Stew'.
Not all the gags, the dancing "pickininnes" and the shooting dice agreed won't go down well and were not very tasteful at all, to a lesser extent same with the trading colours moment in Legree's reprimanding of Eva and Topsy. Some of the character designs are very exaggerated and not that attractive to look at. Bernice Hansen and the character of Eva are also pretty annoying and shrill.
However, most of the animation is great, very vibrant and fluidly drawn with meticulously detailed backgrounds. Even better is the amazing soundtrack, which sizzles in energy and delights in its lushness, the use of pre-existing adds a lot as well. 'Uncle Tom's Bungalow' also has a fair few laugh-worthy moments, due to the smart wit and energetic pacing, even if it's not consistently funny or what this reviewer calls hilarious.
Like very much the fun characters and their equally fun chemistry between them, the antics with them are sort of ridiculous but not in a way that's repetitive and annoying. Apart from Hansen, the voice acting is very good, Mel Blanc, Tedd Pierce and Avery especially particularly worthy of praise.
Overall, decent enough cartoon and not for all tastes, but there are far worse and more offensive cartoons forming the "Censored 11". 6/10 Bethany Cox
