Obviously, it's a little harder to laugh at the Inki cartoons nowadays, seeing how they portray African people (in fact, these cartoons are probably only available on YouTube). In this case, Inki becomes the target of a lion's hunger. Of course, the mystifying, immune-to-harm Minah bird - complete with his syncopated walk - might have his own ideas.
I think that they should eventually release these cartoons onto DVD, and have a disclaimer identifying that these were considered acceptable portrayals way back when, and they never meant any antagonism towards people of African descent. I think that they'd have to say something about like that. Anyway, worth seeing.
