5/10

Probably the only time that racism got clever.

Obviously, it's harder to laugh at "Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas" now that we realize how it pushes every possible stereotype about American Indians. The cartoon portrays Johnny Smith (played by Elmer Fudd's prototype Egghead) sailing to America - on the Mayflower! - only to get taken prisoner by the Indians; fortunately, Poker Huntas is on hand.

Still, in Tex Avery fashion, they have a gag every couple of seconds. True, it's the sort of stuff that they probably would have understood it all better in the '30s, but some stuff is still quite a hoot.

Sadly, these don't really make up for the obvious racism. Are we ever going to take a serious look at what John Smith's deeds led to?
