I know that is the excuse, but the reality is far from it. Speedy is incredibly popular in Hispanic countries. They love to see the smart, fast Mexican Speedy pull one over on the Gringo Pussy-Gato. In fact, there have been all sorts of petitions from Hispanic communites to Cartoon Network to show them.

For some reason, no one complains when they do the same thing they do in Speedy to the French in Pepe le Pew. It’s the same principle.

Pat: It’s been playing in Salt Lake since December 5. Right now the only theatre that is showing it is Jordan Landing. You can find showtimes in the paper.

Cartoon Network won’t play Speedy for the same reason Disney wont release Song of the South. The main characters are racially stereotyped. In other words, Mexicans are portrayed as lazy and Blacks as illiterate.

One of these days I’ve got to get you to show me how to make icons. I love the only three I have but….

And yes, I did see Pioneers in Petticoats. About a decade ago but I do seem to remember something about it.
