This isn’t just a story about a cartoon cat and mouse. It’s a story about a battle that has raged for decades, from the protest lines of the NAACP in the 1940s to the furious online message boards of the 21st century. When Warner Bros. attempted to release a definitive, uncut collection of the series for adult collectors, they made a decision that ignited a firestorm of outrage. Fans accused the studio of censorship and erasing history, while the corporation feared a PR nightmare. At the center of it all were two specific episodes, containing scenes so rooted in racist stereotypes that they remain locked in the vault to this day.
