Cartoons for the Halloween Season: “Hittin’ The Trail For Hallelujah Land”

Friday, October 21st, 2011

With Halloween almost upon us, and ten days before the annual Fark scary story thread, I thought it would be a good time to put up some posts for the season, no matter how vaguely related. First up is “Hittin’ The Trail For Hallelujah Land,” one of the earliest Merrie Melodies (AKA Looney Tunes) ever made, and the first of the infamous “Censored Eleven” cartoons, which, due to racial insensitivity and general political incorrectness, have never been released by Warner Brothers on DVD.

“Hittin’ The Trail For Hallelujah Land” is now in the public domain. What makes it seasonal is that there’s a graveyard and skeleton dance sequence in it.
