We received a lot of positive feedback when we did "Jazz Cartoon Friday" so here's another themed collection of cartoons. Today is, of course, Cinco de Mayo so let's celebrate by taking a look at how Golden Age animators depicted Mexico (and Mexicans) in classic cartoons.
SENOR DROOPY (1949, MGM)
Director: Tex Avery
MEXICALI SCHMOES (1959, Warner Bros.)
Director: Friz Freleng
SNAKE IN THE GRACIAS (1971, DePatie-Freleng)
Director: Hawley Pratt
Not exactly a classic, but the Tijuana Toads were created
by John Dunn, who is featured prominently in the
almost-finished ANIMATION BLAST 9.
