Censorship and Bans
- Warner Home Video had this cartoon on their list of 2 cartoons (the other being Casanova Cat) to be pulled from the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection - Volume 3 DVD compilation because of the scene where Mammy emerges from the coal and discovers the "black man" is actually Tom.
- Originally, Cartoon Network left this scene intact, but in 2001, it was cut to the blackfaced Tom running from Mammy.
- The scene of Tom in blackface showing him sneaking away from Mammy was reanimated in 1965. This time, Tom does not say anything, then resumes to the original cartoon.
- Most recent airings on Cartoon Network have Thea Vidale voice Mammy.

Famous quotes containing the word censorship:
“... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or books containing lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
