Public Domain Cartoons[]

  • You Don't Know What You're Doin'! (1931)
  • Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land (1931)

Notes[]

  • The cartoon "Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land" is part of the notorious "censored eleven", these are eleven Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons which heavily feature stereotypes which couldn't be edited out of the cartoons.
  • Piggy was later redesigned to look more like a realistic pig and named "Piggy Hamhock", none of these cartoons are public domain yet.
  • Piggy's cartoon "Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land" features Piggy controlling a boat, similarly to how Mickey Mouse does in his first cartoon "Steamboat Willie"
