I don’t know if others have noticed, but Pepe Le Pew is a glaringly insulting portrayal of the French people and all things Gallic. The cartoon relies on the stereotype that the French don’t bathe, hence Le Pew being a skunk, a rather malodorous animal. (Some people might think that the cartoons portrayal of the French as oversexed is a stereotype but, as anyone who has been to France knows, this is an astonishingly real picture of the French.) He speaks with a funny accent, too! It is completely galling! Could it get any worse? At least there was never an episode of Pepe capitulating to the Nazis. Vive l’amour!

Brendan S. mentions several characters seen in the feature Who Framed Roger Rabbit? that were created after 1947, the year the film takes place. I read an interview with the filmmakers where they stated their excuse for this was that these characters were hanging around Toon Town in that year until they were “discovered” a few years later by the studios, as if they really existed and shared the same legends as live action movie stars. A bit of dramatic license. I think a bigger problem is the glaring lack of Tom and Jerry in the film. I guess they couldn’t get the rights to these characters.

Is it just me, or does Panthro of the Thundercats seem like a feline representation of a black man? It’s interesting to me that even when human protagonists are replaced with somewhat more bestial protagonists, that animation directors would feel the need to express racial diversity. If you ask me, Thundercats was already demonstrating diversity by depicting feline humanoids, which have been grossly under-represented on television and elsewhere. (I mean, just because they don’t exist doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be represented, right?)

but does Panthro liberate people? would he be an african american? afro-french, afro-cuban? are most other felines in his nation a different breed? he’s a heroic character. does he work to effect positive change on the behalf of society and other panthers like himself?
“just because they don’t exist doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be represented, right?”
i agree. why censor your imagination? and why exclude living beings?
I don’t understand the problem really, especially since all of the other Thundercats are obviously white through actions and words. If anything, why isn’t Panthro uncomfortable being the last of his kind? Like most african american acting roles, he has the position of protecting and guiding young wihite men and women. Very morgan freeman of him…

That last Mini-Analyzation reminds me of something that bothers me a little about those decreasingly delightful GEICO “caveman” commercials:
Is it okay to be racist towards a group of people that doesn’t exist anymore?
Is it okay to be racist towards a group of people that never existed in the first place?
Think about it, won’t you?
The panther character is obviously a *play* on notoriously-left Black Panther Party.
Panthro’s voice was changed from the 1st season to the 2nd. I think he was always supposed to be black, but his voice had a lot more Shaft later.

Even if Panthra was from a different race, so what? Humans have different races, why couldn’t alien, humanoid cats?
