Little LuLu Animated Cartoon Brief History Moment

Do you remember "little LuLu " animated cartoons? This little girl was something else, always into something that would drive you crazy. She reminded me of a female "Dennis The Menace" which of course came years later. Little LuLu started out as comic strip in 1935 and debuted in a February edition of the Saturday Evening Post. Marjorie Henderson Buell (Marge) was the author and artist of the comic strip which ran from 1935-1947 then in 1950 Little LuLu became syndicated series with the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate, it ran until 1969.

Now about the animated short Films that were made in 1943 thru 1948. These 26 shorts were produced by Famous Studios which was affiliated with Paramount Pictures. There is not a lot to write about the 26 shorts that were made, except they were successful and Paramount Studios did not want to pay royalty fees on the new upcoming contract. They decided to make their own animated short "Little Audrey", dirty dogs!

Well I guess that's just business. Here is a " Little LuLu" Cartoon short for you below, and you can see why they were so successful. BJ 🙈🙉🙊

1974-1977- Art and his new wife Gloria made 2 the art films, The Clay Peacock and Mandala, in their basement. Art and Gloria, hounded by encouraging fans of Gumpy to bring it back, they looked forward to getting Gumby back on the air.

Why Some Animated Cartoons Were Banned From History

There are many reasons why animated cartoons are banned. The first reason is that they are seen as racist by some people. Another reason for them being banned is that they are seen as offensive. Some people find them offensive because of the way they portray certain races of people. They also make fun of people who speak in an accent or have a funny voice. This is a good reason to ban them because it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Another reason for cartoon characters being banned is because they are seen as sexual. Some cartoons are very sexual, and this is a good reason for them to be banned. They may show something that is inappropriate for children to see.

Another reason for cartoons to be banned is because they are seen to be violent. Some cartoons are very violent and this is another reason for them to be banned. This is especially true if the cartoon is violent against a certain race or religion.

Another reason for these cartoons to be banned is because of the way they portray different races. They can be offensive because of the way they show some people as being stupid and lazy and of course that is not true at all. Any way these are the top few reasons that cartoons were banned from history, but you can still see some of these online on YouTube. I have one below this post you can view : Try not to be offended just showing a little history lesson. BJ / 🙈🙉🙊
