      anybody remember that Tiny Toon Adventures episode where a guy began laughing so hard at old noodle limb cartoons that he started inflating like Veruca Salt with no explanation and then exploded

      Is that the same one where they tried to claim racist minstrel characters like Bosko weren't in fact racist? That so didn't sit right with me, and then they announced Animaniacs and I was like "Ummmm..."

      They didn't exactly make that argument, although they did clearly retcon Bosko and Honey into animal like characters with dog ears rather than the much more obvious humanoid blackface caricatures they started as, then claimed they'd been "forgotten" just because they were old

      To be fair, WB wasn't totally comfortable with the blackface characterization to begin with and if you look at the old cartoons you can see Bosko "evolve" in real time (like he stops speaking in minstrel dialect after the first cartoon)

      But yeah it's awkward that the Warner siblings on Animaniacs have a backstory that's clearly based on Bosko Saying these Felix-the-Cat style totally anarchic rubber hose cartoons were "forgotten" for decades because they were just too weird and not that they were racist

      You're right, it was more of an attempt at reclamation than an outright denial of its racist history. I mostly remember it feeling kind of skeevy and rather disingenuous.

      It's interesting that recent looks back at this genre like Bendy and the Ink Machine and Spinel in Steven Universe aren't simple nostalgia like this episode was They don't directly address the racism but they associate this animation style with dirty secrets and checkered pasts

      They exploit the general sense that kids who watched cartoons had that this era of animation was "something we don't talk about anymore" without putting their finger on exactly why It's a really effective horror device

          Definitely. That's basically the premise of Epic Mickey.
