But I especially want to see the Coal Black short. It definitely sounds non-PC and like war propaganda, but the jazz music and the black actors' voices would be exciting to hear. I know that in the 1940's white movies sometimes had "black" scenes, for example Lena Horne singing a number. But the versions that were shown in the South had those scenes taken out, and the movies were written so that the "black" scenes could be removed and the story would be intact. Sad, how racism was accommodated.<br /><br />I haven't seen Disney's Snow White since I was a little girl, but I should watch it again as an adult. The art work was beautiful and the animation was way ahead of its time, however simple it looks to us now. And when you mentioned the music and songs I suddenly remembered, "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go..."<br /><br />Some things you never forget.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.com
