Interesting anti racist storyline about a black duck who doesn't get on with the mouse farmer and end up tied to a tree.
Along comes wicked cat tries to kidnap (cat-nap? duck-nap?) the rest of the ducks.
Banned, not surprisingly as it contains violence, alcohol and tobacco abuse as well a racism (although it is anti-racist in it's message) as it is quite violent but also because the central mouse character looks rather familiar.
Rather difficult to see but definitely worth a look if you can find it. Other sources attribute this film to Van Beuren which seems to disagree with the IMDb production credits

Up until a few years ago I had disliked Laurel and Hardy, until my wife, who is a fan forced me to watch some of their better movies, for example Way out West and Sons of the Desert.
Watching this particular effort, however, reminded me of why I had disliked them so much in the first place.
It starts out brightly enough with the boys trying to pull the wool over their wives' eyes in order to go to a stag party in their honour but then it loses it's way. The centrepiece is an over-extended sequence where Ollie is trying to remove a boot. After ten minutes of this I was heartily wishing it hadn't got stuck as well

Pink panther cartoons are certainly consistent. At their worst they are at least watchable. At their best they are, well, watchable. This is an average one.
A disembodied narrator tells PP to stop lazing around and get on with some odd jobs around the house. The results are predictably worse than leaving well alone, but every time PP gives up that little voice starts nagging at him again...
