This isn't one of Tom and Jerry's best cartoons, as it just isn't as funny or violent as the typical film from this era. However, if you simply look at the film from a technical point of view, it is superb, as the animation style and quality is as good as you'll find--and even better than the great animation from MGM toons from the 1940s.
Now I understand that this cartoon has been pulled from circulation because it's seen as politically incorrect due to it being an insensitive depiction of cannibals. While it is very true that Jerry puts on black powder to make himself look Black and he puts a bone on top of his head, I am sure that some might be offended by this (after all, minstrel shows and black-face comedy are sad things from our past). Some might also NOT be offended because the creators of this cartoon are saying nothing directly derogatory about anyone but cannibals, and I for one, do not particularly like cannibals and don't mind offending them. It's probably not a terrible thing that this one was pulled, but it always worries me when people do this as we are losing an important part of our history, as even the ugly stuff should be remembered. After all, how can you know how far you've come unless you've seen where you've been?
