This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

. . . that the Leading Man of CONFEDERATE HONEY (and actual title character) from Warner Bros.' always prophetic Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, The Looney Tuners) is none other than Red Commie KGB U.S. Strong Man Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's Puppet, Don Juan Rump. Warner Bros. fully exploited its Extremely Early Warning Cartoonists to alert We Americans of the (Then) Far Future of our impending Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti. With CONFEREATE HONEY, they open with Rump Surrogate alleged "Attorney General" Beauregard Sessions (formerly of the KKK) auctioning off the U.S. Bill of Rights. "Sold-out Americans!" he concludes his auctioneer patter. Warner follows up this with a montage giving a blow-by-blow account of the Deplorable 2016 Rigged-by-Russia election, featuring several cameos by KGB spy (slated to become American Third Lady) Melancholia Rump. However, once Putin's coup is complete, Melancholia rejects the pathetic Rump's plea for her to park her derriere at America's once-hallowed White House, stamping Rump's forehead "Revoked!" This is Warner's way of informing America that IF we were ever foolish enough to let someone like Stalin or Putin have his way with us, THEN that moldy anarchistic Racist Suicide Pact Parchment from the 1700s would HAVE TO BE REPEALED AND REPLACED at a Constitutional Convention, resulting in the assets forfeiture and deportation of ALL the enablers of the permanently-banned Putin's Party, along with the banning of the Job-Killing Corporate Mafia, in order to rid America of the interchangeable Three C's promoted by Lucifer: Conservatism, Communism, and Capitalism!

Spoilers herein.Many of the cartoons from this era were built around making fun of specific popular items: books, movies and such. The whole idea was to show everything in the most ridiculous light.Some of these, like this one (and scores of others) tread on matters of race. Either they deal with WWII Asians, or Blacks of some ilk. They are all now in `collections of shame' in various institutions, and deemed unsuitable for viewing. Racist.In the States, racism is the big taboo, so these are considered too offensive to watch because of the role of blacks, their minstrel-like appearance and the resulting stereotypical behavior. Never mind that in many cases the non-Blacks are portrayed in much the same way - ostensibly because as oppressors a spoof of themselves cannot be oppressive.This particular instance makes fun of a film (then fresh) rather than society at large and is in a special category, which to my mind puts it on the acceptable side of that great dividing line. Its the film that's racist, this most popular film in history. Pointing that out humorously seems to me in the best tradition of the Waylons, and that's a good thing.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

My opinions on this short are different than those of the previous poster. I didn't find this cartoon to be racist at all. In cartoons, everything is a caricature of something, but there are just some liberals out there who think the animators were being racist. They don't seem to have enough sense to realize that it was made at a time when black caricatures in films were common. This is my favorite Elmer Fudd short. It's one of those cartoons where he isn't starring with Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck. This cartoon was a humorous parody of "Gone with the Wind," with Elmer Fudd playing Ned Cutler (Rhett Butler in the real movie).

Yes, details of why the Civil War happened are just too heavy for a cartoon, especially in 1940. I guess it just wouldn't be funny to have any shred of history in this cartoon. Fair enough. But why must anyone other than mainstream people be a caricature? Yes, all Blacks in this cartoon are the typical stereotypes.I've seen every religious and racial group lampooned in cartoons. But what you get here is the extra irony for Blacks.
