@lain Well back then the looney toons weren't made for kids. :cirnoShrug:
[Age segregation also is a fairly new development in animation as well, according to animation lecturer Robert McKimson Jr., whose father directed 35 Bugs Bunny cartoons and created Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil and Speedy Gonzales, among other characters, for Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes.
"The Warner cartoons were aimed strictly for adults--they were never meant for children," McKimson said.
Warner cartoons and other animated short subjects (Disney characters, Popeye, Tom and Jerry and so on) were screened for audiences of all ages at movie houses before the feature presentation. But when television began packing Saturday mornings and after-school hours with those classics during the `60s, many were trimmed of excessive violence, sexual innuendo and drug and alcohol references.
Or, as McKimson puts it: "They chopped the hell out of them."] Chicago Tribune, 2002
@ThatWouldBeTelling@lain They barely went over Nixon when I was in school. What my U.S history teacher told me was that he did okay during his first term and might have won his second term if he was not paranoid and spied on the DNC. I later watched a documentary about the U.S Biochemical warfare program that credited him for putting a stop to it. The radiation experiments was added into the documentary.
