WB also turned out some of the raciest cartoons of the era- and at times some of the most racist. You don't see those around any more.
Yea also they edited out alot of the guns and explosives because people are to sensitive now. Also alot of the shorts from WWII arent even sold anywhere or on tv at all because of the racial stereotypes such as african americans, jews, germans, japanese, and chinese.
