Well, there are Chinese gags in the Tom and Jerry cartoons, "Puss N' Toots" and "Little Runaway"

There are gags in the Tex Avery cartoons "Musical Maestro" and "Bad Luck Blacky"

Another one I can think of comes from "Tweety and the Beanstalk".

BUT, really, dont mention any that CN might not have cut, if there are any. We dont want the censor police chopping up any more toons.

[Cartman]

Let's see, for WB we've got the following that I can think of anyway:

CHINA JONES (of course)
ONE STEP AHEAD OF MY SHADOW
DOG COLLARED
GOLD DIGGERS OF '49


For Disney:

FIRST AIDERS
THE MAD DOG
BROKEN TOYS
THE CHINA PLATE
THE SYMPHONY HOUR

MGM:
THE CALICO DRAGON

Other:
LAUNDRY BLUES (Van Buren)




BTW, How did the Chinese doing laundry gags get started?

[J Lee]

Doggone Cats and Dog Collared also have (now edited) Chinese gags.

[Thad Komorowski]

The Woody Woodpecker cartune Helter Shelter has "Happy" the dog turning Chinese briefly.

[Tintin]

"War and Pieces" and "Lights Fantastics" where also contained a chinese gag.

[alstin]

It's because many Chinese had laundry mats back in the good ol days.

"Three for Breakfast" (Disney)-now edited out

[DR. BELCH]

There's a Looney Tunes short--"Pizzicato Pussycat", I believe--about a piano-playing mouse chased by a cat, whose owners assume he's a prodigy after seeing him near the keys while the mouse is playing.

Then there's a Bullwinkle ep where the moose takes a frilly shirt to a Chinese laundry--in China!--and unwittingly utters a code word to the counter guy, who give him a package containing Boris' exploding wrist-watch....

You also had the Chinamen turning in caricatures of Amos & Andy thanks to some backfire smoke in "Golddiggers of '49".

[Emmanuel Cruz]

There's the Chinaman cooking a pot of Gold Bouillion soup in "Gold Rush Daze."

By the way, how come they had Chinese stereotypes in "Gold Rush Daze" and "Gold Diggers of '49?" What do they have to do with the Gold Rush?

Chinese laborers were brought over to work on building the railroads to the gold mines in northern California in the 1850s, and later were the main source of labor for construction of the western leg of the Transcontinetal Railroad through the Sierra Nevadas in the 1860s.
